 MSA’s Gas Detectors Meet Rigors of Heavy Gulf Coast Construction Do you think you can't find portable instruments tough enough to stand up to your company's needs? Just talk to Vic Gremillion, corporate safety director for Boh Company, LLC, in New Orleans, Louisiana, and he'll set you straight about exactly how tough MSA's products are! "We've used MSA products for 11 years now. We'd tried a lot of other types before, but those other real fancy ones--they're just not tough enough to hang with it in the real world." To the 1,570 employees whom Gremillion is "responsible for getting through the year alive," the real world means heavy construction, mostly of roads and bridges, throughout the Gulf Coast region for the 91-year-old Boh Company.
Gremillion’s dedication to safety and commitment to MSA’s products are as authentic as his regional accent. “We are still using the Model 261 [an older-generation instrument for gas/oxygen detection], and we still love it!” Exactly what kinds of abuse do these instruments have to go through to pass Boh Company's durability test? "They get kicked around, beat up, thrown in the back of the truck. . . .The cases are tough. And they're easy to teach foremen to use, whether they're at an excavation site or in a confined space."
