MSA SAFETY is the global leader in the development, manufacture, and supply of safety products with a mission to enable men and women to work in safety and that they, their families, and their communities live in health. The Pennsylvania-headquartered company has been protecting lives for more than 100 years, developing products that integrate a combination of electronics, mechanical systems, and advanced materials to safeguard users against hazardous or life-threatening situations. These products are used by workers worldwide in a broad range of markets, including the oil, gas, and petrochemical industry; the fire service; the construction industry; mining; and the military. And with the utility electrical sector and other industries facing challenges due to COVID-19, MSA Safety feels that sponsoring the award is both relevant and timely. Speaking about the finalists, Brandon Griffin, of MSA Safety, says: "Just like in MSA, we have a really steep culture in safety… I really felt that all the finalists… just had a really in-depth, long, historic safety platform and safety culture within [their] organization. I think that's very important. I don't think you can put enough emphasis on culture and it seems like all three of them have built a fantastic safety culture within the organization which is great."
