    The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements
include all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management of the
registrant, necessary for a fair statement of the operating results for the
three month periods ended March 31, 1994 and 1993.  These financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair
presentation of financial position, results of operations, and changes in cash
flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

     The sales increase was mainly due to the inclusion of HAZCO Services, Inc.,
Dayton, Ohio, which was acquired in the last half of 1993.  This acquisition
added equipment rental services to the hazardous materials/environmental
market.  Commercial safety equipment sales in the U.S. were hampered by the
adverse effects of severe weather and earthquakes on customers early in the
year (which also affected MSA's operations).  Such sales strengthened
considerably by the end of the quarter.  Sales of gas detection and monitoring
instruments and specialty chemicals continued robust growth.  Shipments of gas
masks to the U.S. military were below prior years but are expected to increase
as the year continues.  International sales declined somewhat, mainly due to
continued economic weakness in Germany.


     The increase in net income was due to higher U.S. sales and continued cost
control.  European operations, especially Germany, remain depressed by economic
conditions, although improvement is expected as the year goes on as a result of
restructuring.  Earnings in Brazil were hurt by currency exchange effects from
the latest bout of political and economic instability.  Earnings per share
benefitted from higher net income and reduced shares outstanding as a result of
the share repurchase program.


     Comparative foreign currency exchange losses charged to income are as

     At their meeting on April 27, 1994, the Board of Directors renewed an
authorization for the company to repurchase up to 300,000 shares of its common
stock from time to time in private transactions and on the over-the-counter
market.  The shares repurchased will be used for employee stock options and
awards and other general business purposes.  The timing and amount of the
company's purchases will depend upon price and availability of shares. 


     Available credit facilities along with internal cash resources are
adequate to provide for ensuing capital requirements.  The company's financial
position and liquidity continue to be adequate.  The current ratio and term
debt in relation to capital as of March 31, 1994  were 3.8 and 11.0%,
respectively, as compared to 3.7 and 11.0% at December 31, 1993.
