Safety professionals recognize that gas detection is a critical part of their safety program. Having a solution one can trust brings peace of mind that workers and worksites are safeguarded.
Importantly, creating a winning health and safety initiative requires alignment of three factors: subject matter expertise, technology that works, and a human-centered approach.
-
Subject Matter Expertise
Portable gas detectors help to protect workers and worksites from invisible dangers. In order to have a safe, trusted gas detection program, safety professionals need to ensure that workers have the tools and training they need to make safe, compliant choices aligned with corporate safety policies and government regulations.
But gas detectors require attention, administration, record keeping, and more.
Therefore, a successful gas detection solution starts with full and deep understanding of those challenges safety professionals face on a daily basis. Allowing them to simultaneously navigate these multiple factors is paramount. As such, by providing them with innovative solutions, companies can enable their safety professional to achieve their safety goals and improve safety outcomes.

Human-Centered Approach
A human-centric approach to safety product design and development begins with understanding both worker needs and expectations, then translating those understandings into beneficial product features; features that allow the worker to focus on the task or job at hand.
A good gas detection program is devised bearing human safety in mind. However, it’s not just about safety, it’s about giving them the tools to get the job done effectively and efficiently. The right gas detection program uses data to help safety professionals to make informed decisions.
MSA works closely with safety professionals and their peers to help transform gas detection programs into a connected safety platform, with the latest innovations in connected devices and software.
The triple alignment between the three elements – subject matter expertise, technology that works and, human-centered approach – are the cornerstones of a successful gas detection program.
