PROTECCIÓN LABORAL MSA TO SHOWCASE AT A+A NEXT GENERATION IN SAFETY TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION For industries that require personnel to work at heights, such as wind energy, utilities, construc- tion, telecommunications and transportation, where safety standards are more stringent than ever, the demand for high-quality fall protection equipment has never been greater. ·Safety at height In line with this safety at heights focus, MSA Safety (NYSE: MSA) will showcase a broad new line of innovative fall protection devices at the upcoming A+A Show in Düsseldorf, Germany, October 17 to 20. Among those products is MSA’s new line of V-Series Harnesses which in- clude a lightweight and durable model called the V-Form harness, as well as a padded and tailored V-Fit option. Both models feature fully adjustable straps, comfort features and dual load indicators to alert wearers that the harness has been involved in a fall event. The V-Fit mod- el also includes shoulder and leg padding for increased comfort. MSA also will unveil its new V-Shock Personal Fall Limiter (PFL) which, when used with a com- patible MSA harness, quickly and effectively slows and halts a wearer’s descent in the event of a fall. The V-Shock PFL incorporates MSA’s patented spring radial energy-absorbing tech- nology that requires no calibration or adjust- ment. It also features a super-strong rubberised casing to provide exceptional durability, mak- ing it ideal for the building and construction industry sectors. The V-Series range of fall protection equipment is named after MSA’s iconic V-Gard® safety helmet, which is used by millions of workers across the globe. The V-Series line, when used in conjunction with MSA’s suite of Latchways engineered lifelines, offers one of the highest levels of fall protection available today. It also means MSA can offer customers a full portfolio of work-at-height solutions, ranging from per- manent guard rails and engineered lifelines to personal protective equipment (PPE). Also making its expo debut will be the compa- ny’s new mobile Fall Protection Training Center, a fully-equipped vehicle capable of interactive fall protection product demonstrations. The ve- hicle will be on hand throughout the show and located outside of Hall 7 at stand 7A-01. Gas detection wide assortment In addition to fall protection equipment, MSA offers a complete portfolio of safety solutions, ranging from self-contained breathing appara- tus to xed gas and ame detection systems, to industrial head protection products and re and rescue helmets, plus training and product selection expertise - all with the singular goal of helping protect workers on the job. At the A+A trade show, MSA will be shining another spotlight on its wireless gas detection technology, highlighted by the Altair 4XR Mul- tigas Detector which provides real-time alarm and event noti cations, with speed, reliability and durability that delivers an entirely new level of gas detection performance. With Bluetooth connectivity, the Altair 4XR detector is a four- gas device that, when paired with the MSA Al- tair Connect app, can text alarm noti cations to supervisors and team members. With a focus on reducing the overall cost of ownership for safety investments, MSA also plans to showcase game-changing technology in the area of “ xed” gas and ame detection solutions. Speci cally, MSA will be showcasing its new line of Ultima X5000 Gas Monitors with advanced OLED display, two sensor inputs, and MSA XCell gas sensors with extended cal- ibration periods. This Ultima X5000 monitor is the rst product to have two sensor inputs into the one transmitter, meaning coverage is dou- bled. The Ultima X5000 is powered by a series of best-in-class sensors and its performance is assured by the industry’s most comprehensive warranty coverage. MSA is also introducing a new breakthrough with TruCalTM technology on selected XCell tox- ic gas sensors. TruCal technology compensates for sensor drift caused by environmental chang- es. In other words, users don’t have to touch or calibrate the detector for up to a year and a half. The high-resolution OLED display has been designed in such a way that users can tell at a glance the status of the detector, keeping safety as easy as possible. As a leader in FGFD technology, the company is also displaying new technology driven by its 2016 acquisition of UK-based Senscient. The Senscient ELDS is a laser-based open path gas detector providing unmatched ltering tech- nology to reduce the likelihood of nuisance alarms. Available for a wide range of toxic and ammable gases, it utilises Bluetooth technolo- gy to provide a wireless solution that offers fast response time for safety critical ventilation zone and cross duct application. MSA’s innovations in safety will be on display in Düsseldorf on its stand, located at Hall 6, booth H29. Each day during the show the MSA team will be demonstrating products, answer- ing technical queries and helping visitors make their workplaces safer for those who need to work at heights, operate in con ned space or manage any other hazardous environment. An open invitation is issued to visit the MSA booth and talk about any aspect of the range with the safety experts. Among others, MSA exhibits the new line of V-Series harnesses which in- clude a lightweight and durable model called V-Form, as well as a padded and tailored V-Fit option UPDATED PRODUCTS / PRODUCTOS DE ACTUALIDAD 63
