Why choose MSA Safety

MSA Safety is well known for its gas detection and breathing apparatus. Its Altair gas detector range and G1 SCBA platform are benchmark products in their respective categories, used by emergency services, confined-space teams and industrial operators across the country.

Beyond that, MSA Safety company products feature:

• Over 110 years of product development. MSA has more than 5,000 employees and protects workers in more than 140 countries. That depth of experience informs product design based on real-world hazards, not just laboratory testing. 
• Purpose-built equipment. MSA SCBA systems include unique design features that reduce stress and fatigue while improving performance and ease of maintenance.
• Integrated safety systems. MSA Grid connects portable gas detectors, SCBA and monitoring systems in a single data environment, providing real-time worker status information. 
• Head-to-toe coverage. MSA Safety products span respiratory, fall, head, eye, hearing and hand protection for a wide range of workplace hazards.

Build Your MSA Safety Protection Kit

MSA's product range at Absafe spans fall protection, head protection, eye and hearing protection, gloves and rescue equipment, making it one of the few manufacturers that can genuinely cover a complete site safety setup.

Gas Detection

MSA Safety has a strong global reputation in gas detection. At Absafe, the range includes portable gas monitors, detection equipment, consumables and service parts.

Portable gas monitors and detectors. MSA's Altair range includes single-gas detectors for specific hazards and multi-gas detectors for more complex atmospheres. The Altair io series adds cellular connectivity and integration with MSA Grid for centralised real-time monitoring. 

Gas detection supplies. We stock equipment and consumables for hazardous gas management, including calibration gas and detection accessories. 

Gas detector service parts. The range includes replacement sensors, filters, and service components for maintaining detectors between scheduled services.

Accurate gas monitors and detectors are a legal requirement for confined space entry under AS 2865.

Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus

MSA's SCBA range is among the most comprehensive available from a single manufacturer. The MSA safety equipment products in the SCBA category at Absafe cover:

• G1 Industrial SCBA – the industrial platform built on MSA's fire service G1 architecture. Designed to reduce donning time, simplify maintenance, and reduce fatigue during extended wear.
• Escape and egress SCBA – compact units for emergency exit from contaminated atmospheres, where a worker needs enough air to reach safe air.
• SCBA cylinders, regulators, and components – replacement and spare parts for maintaining SCBA systems in a compliant, ready-to-deploy condition.

We also stock a range of air-purifying respirators and breathing masks for milder conditions when SCBA isn't required.

Fall Protection

MSA's fall protection range includes harnesses, lanyards, retractable lifelines, and confined-space retrieval systems. At Absafe, we stock:

• Full body harnesses. The MSA V-Fit and V-Form harnesses are ergonomically designed for all-day wear, with five adjustment points and dorsal fall-arrest D-rings.
• Rescue harnesses and riggers' harnesses for confined-space rescue teams and structural rigging work, with multi-D-ring configurations.
• Retractable lanyards and lifelines for construction, roof access, and elevated work platform applications.
• Positioning lanyards and hardware for hands-free work at height.
• Confined space tripod systems for supporting entry, retrieval and rescue operations in confined spaces.
• Beam anchors and clamps for attachment to structural steel beams without drilling.

You can also buy complete rescue kits that bundle the tripod, winch, and accessories for confined-space rescue capability.

Head, Eye, Ear & Hand Protection

MSA's V-Gard helmet range is one of the most widely used hard hat platforms in the Australian industry, recognisable by its distinctive peaked profile. 

At Absafe, MSA helmets are available in a range of specifications, from the standard industrial V-Gard 930 to the premium V-Gard 950, which offers enhanced suspension and ventilation.

We also stock:

• MSA safety glasses for impact protection on industrial and construction sites.
• Hearing protection products for noise environments, compatible with V-Gard helmet mounting systems.
• MSA glove options covering cut resistance, general handling, and chemical protection for industrial hand hazards.
