Take care of your eyes and ears BEFORE an accident reminds you of how valuable they are!

Simple, but it works!

 

It's a tall order

Making protective eyewear and hearing protection rugged enough for conditions of use, effective enough to meet high standards, inexpensive enough to fit any budget, comfortable enough to satisfy the wearer, and stylish enough to appeal to everyone.

Increases in sales depend upon continuous improvements in products, with respect to these four factors, at least. And yet, it's difficult to reinvent the wheel. Fortunately, we get ideas from customers' suggestions, new manufacturing techniques, and ever-evolving chemical advances that, for example, make plastics stronger and more flexible.

MSA's complete product lines cover all needs and budgets

Apex 30 ear muffMSA's variety of styles and prices of Sound ControlTM Hearing Protection has your needs covered, from the simple but aggressively protective disposable ear plug to the super-comfortable, attractive, foldable Apex 30TM Ear Muff.

You can choose ear cups that integrate with your hardhat, multi-position muffs, reusable ear plugs with cords, or even an EconomuffTM Ear Muff that offers protection and comfort in tough, dirty environments for a list price of under $5.

safety glassesThe eyewear styles are so attractive that it's hard to believe these are safety glasses whose first job is to protect your eyes from flying objects. The choice of style is up to you. Choose from features like these: sleek wraparound frames or a gold metal frame; clear or colored plastic frames with adjustable temples and integrated side shields; clear or tinted blue-mirrored, gray, or amber lenses; Tuff StuffTM scratch-resistant coating; anti-fog coating; replaceable lenses; and molded-in ultraviolet protection.

MSA's quality standard is so high that product testing exceeds the established ANSI requirements. (The American National Standards Institute sets standards for product quality.)

Introducing a new size of Sightgard® Protective Eyewear: SierraTM Small Faces. Well-suited for small adults' and children's faces, Sierra Small Faces eyewear features our anti-scratch lens coating, adjustable temples, and high optical quality.

New from MSA is a complete line of disposable cleaning accessories, including small and large cleaning stations and handy towelettes. These items are very competitively priced, yet will provide the highest quality and effectiveness when you clean your protective eyewear.
