THE MSA CONNECTED WORK PLATFORM

Driven by the ALTAIR io™ 4 Gas Detection Wearable.

Connected Worker

As part of The MSA Connected Work Platform, the ALTAIR io™ 4 is a wearable gas detector that delivers critical data points from on-site workers to off-site safety managers—along with the super rugged durability you expect from MSA.

Out-of-the-Box Connectivity

With cutting-edge, secure CAT-M LTE cellular connectivity seamlessly built-in and delivered through leading national networks (with plans managed by MSA), the ALTAIR io 4 portable gas detector deploys in seconds. No IT required.

Worker Visibility

Capabilities including worker emergency monitoring and digital device assignment mean lone workers are not alone. Every ALTAIR io 4 comes with MSA’s Grid cloud-based software - allowing you to select from compliance, fleet manager or live monitoring services which unlocks additional layers of insight.
