PITTSBURGH, May 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Helping to keep workers safe on the job is among the chief responsibilities for health and safety professionals, but the profession is experiencing a change. According to the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA), the future of workplace health and safety is evolving due to the increasing role that data is playing in workplace safety. To address this evolution and to offer solutions to help safety managers connect with and utilize data, MSA Safety, Inc. (NYSE: MSA), is showcasing its Connected Work Platform at the American Industrial Hygiene Conference & Exposition (AIHce) this week in Phoenix, Arizona.

MSA Safety's featured safety solution at AIHce this year is the Connected Work Platform, that includes the cloud-ready ALTAIR io™ 4 Gas Detection Wearable Device and the MSA Grid software platform.

The MSA V-GARD® helmets and accessories are being featured at AIHce this year, including the V-GARD C1™ Hard Hat, that helps to alleviate heat stress for workers in industries where heat stress from sun exposure is a concern.

The MSA V-SHOCK® Web Personal Fall Limiter is one of the V-SHOCK® and V-EDGE™ Personal Fall Limiters that will be on display at AIHce. Additionally, attendees can learn more about the MSA V-SERIES® body harnesses.

Attended by industrial hygiene, occupational and employee health professionals from around the world, AIHce focuses on providing these leaders with strategies and educational opportunities to help better protect worker health and safety, while providing expo attendees with the opportunity to experience industry-leading safety solutions.

As MSA's featured safety solution at AIHce, the Connected Work Platform includes the cloud-ready ALTAIR io™ 4 Gas Detection Wearable Device and the MSA Grid software platform. The ALTAIR io 4 device was designed from the ground-up as a fully connected and intuitive safety solution that is designed to work in concert with the company's MSA+ safety subscription service. When connected together, the ALTAIR io 4 device and MSA+ create a versatile and powerful hardware/software combination that can enhance worker safety and simplify safety program management. This combination is designed to deliver real-time visibility to help drive safety and productivity across workers, worksites and workflows.
