Who We AreThe Motor Safety Association (MSA) is a non-government, non-profit organization funded through an operational agreement with the Workers' Compensation Board . Our ultimate goal is to reduce the number of injuries and the duration of those injuries in our industry. We strive to educate our members to the benefits of developing and maintaining an effective Safety Management System. Our members range from one-man shops to companies with 10 or more employees. Covered under MSA, there is an estimated 25,000 employees. The management style and techniques needed to create a safe workforce are dependent on many basic factors including the size of the workforce, location, resources available (people, training, suppliers and materials) as well as the types of work processes they engage in. Board of DirectorsThe Motor Safety Association’s Board of Directors is elected by members, and directly responsible to them for the management and conduct of the Association’s affairs.
