Mine Safety Appliances (MSA) es una empresa fabricantes de elementos de protección personal y seguridad industrial localizada en el suburbio de Blawnox, próximo a Pittsburgh, Pensilvania. La compañía fue fundada por los señores John Ryan y George Deike a principios del siglo XX, con el objetivo de proteger de riesgos laborales a los trabajadores mineros. Un producto especialmente relevante en la historia de MSA es la lámpara minera, desarrollo que los fundadores solicitaron al conocido inventor Tomas Alva Edison. El Sr. Edison catalogó a la lámpara minera como su invento "más humanitario".

Es de notar que, en la actualidad, los productos de la compañía están orientados a todos los segmentos de la industria (gas y petróleo, construcciones, metalúrgica, alimentos, defensa, militar, etc.).

La compañía opera, a nivel internacional, con una creciente cantidad de subsidiarias propias en las principales capitales del mundo, y con distribuidores autorizados, en más de 100 países.

En Sudamérica, MSA tiene operaciones directas (con subsidiarias) en Perú, Brasil, Chile y Argentina.
