MSA Safety, Inc. have debuted two of its newest solutions, the V-Gard H2® Full Brim Safety Helmet and ALTAIR io™ 6 Multigas Detector during the 2025 National Safety Congress & Expo (NSC), in Denver, Colorado.
The V-Gard H2 Full Brim Safety Helmet is the latest addition to MSA Safety’s head protection portfolio.
Meeting ANSI Type II certification, it includes an integrated chinstrap for enhanced protection against lateral impacts and is compatible with nearly all V-Gard® accessories.
It’s designed for additional sun and debris protection and features quick and easy customization options for existing and new logos.
The V-Gard H2 Full Brim Safety Helmet joins MSA Safety’s leading line of extensive Type I and Type II head protection innovations.
Protecting against top and lateral impacts, it extends the V-Gard H2 Safety Helmet offering and can be equipped with the optional Mips® safety system that offers rotational impact protection to help reduce the risk of traumatic brain injuries.
They have shared how the V-Gard H2 Full Brim Safety Helmet is now available for order.
The ALTAIR io 6 Multigas Detector will be the newest addition to the MSA Connected Work Platform.
This six-gas detector is ideal for confined space monitoring and sampling applications and it will be MSA’s first cellular-connected gas detector featuring an integrated pump.
Additionally, it features MSA’s XCell® sensors; has a large, highly visible screen; a removable, rechargeable external battery; and is small enough for handheld use or to wear.
The ALTAIR io 6 Multigas Detector will join the ALTAIR io™ 4 Gas Detection Wearable on the MSA Connected Work Platform.
While the ALTAIR io 4 is primarily used as a personal, continuous monitoring device, the ALTAIR io 6 is designed for sampling spaces on job sites or before confined space entry, with both devices used across the construction, manufacturing, oil and gas and utilities markets.
Sharing similar technologies, both detectors have the same user interface and use MSA Grid software.
This makes it easy for safety managers to integrate both devices and connect them into their fleet of gas monitors, which can create a powerful Connected Work experience to enhance safety management on worksites.
MSA Grid provides information about device location and alerts in real-time, while also providing immediate access to data from a single device or fleet of devices. The ALTAIR io 6 will be available for order later this year.
Stephanie Sciullo, President of MSA Americas shared: “We’re focused on helping to solve our customers’ safety challenges by developing solutions that enhance protection, compliance and efficiency.
“Expanding the portable detection capabilities in our Connected Work Platform and providing more choice in our head protection portfolio furthers MSA’s expertise in developing innovative safety products to help keep workers safe by providing the best solution for their job.”
Additionally, MSA Safety will be featuring its fall protection solutions, including the V-SERIES® line of harness, personal fall limiters (PFLs) and self-retracting lifelines (SRLs) and respiratory protection portfolio at NSC.
This year MSA Safety is in Booth 1122.
