OSHA on Friday certified Pittsburgh-headquartered Mine Safety Appliances' facility in Cranberry, Pa., at the "star," or highest level, in its Voluntary Protection Programs. During a ceremony at the facility, Robert Szymanski, director of OSHA's Pittsburgh Area Office, presented a VPP star flag and extolled the company's achievements.

"Safety and health is a high priority to MSA management and employees," said Szymanski. "The company has consistently demonstrated a strong commitment to employee safety and health, and has maintained an injury and illness rate 51 percent below the industry average."

MSA manufactures and supplies safety products such as self-contained breathing apparatus accessories, military integrated communication headsets, and custom application systems to protect users against hazardous or life-threatening situations. The Cranberry facility has 458 employees.
