With more than 35 years of experience, PSA Africa, partnered with MSA Safety Company, have become market leaders in South Africa and boast a complement of authorised services including supply, maintenance, calibration and training. MSA are the global leaders in the development, manufacture and supply of gas detection instruments and PSA Africa have proudly been associated with them since 1997.
Mining safety is non-negotiable, and having high-performance equipment is essential. However, the high costs of acquiring and maintaining these instruments creates financial pressures in mining operations.
PSA Africa developed the Performance Protection Plan (PPP) – a game-changing service model/agreement designed to give mines access to top-tier gas detectors and cap lamps without the burden upfront capital investment.
PPP with PSA/MSA has been successfully implemented in numerous mines in the industry.
| Traditional Purchase | PPP Model | |
| Upfront Equipment Cost | High (once-off) | None |
| Maintenance & Repairs | Unpredictable (additional costs) | Included |
| Replacement Costs | Full cost of new unit | Included |
| Downtime Risks | High if device fails | Minimised |
| Budget Predictability | Difficult (Fluctuating expenses) | Fixed, Transparent costs |
Under the PPP, mines can acquire both gas detectors and cap lamps with a fixed-cost, worry-free service plan that includes repairs and replacements for up to four years . This predictable cost model ensures mines have access to the latest technology without unplanned expenses, or downtimes. No Hidden fees or surprises.
Furthermore, PSA Africa’s integration expertise ensures that all equipment – from gas detectors to cap lamps – is seamlessly incorporated into mine access systems . At Harmony Gold’s Kusasalethu Mine, for example, PSA partnered to implemented a system that not only tracks equipment assignment but also performs vital pre-shift safety checks. PSA’s streamline processes, reduce bottlenecks, and provide peace of mind for both workers and management.
