This ASU amends the definition of a discontinued operation to include a disposal of a component or group of components that is disposed of or is classified as held for sale and represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results.

This ASU clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue such that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, Revenue with Contracts from Customers . This ASU defers the effective date of the standard until January 1, 2018.

This ASU simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs and requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, I mputation of Interest - Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs . This ASU simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs for line of credit arrangements. Both ASUs will be effective beginning in 2016.

This ASU will be effective beginning in 2016. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, Goodwill and Other Internal Use Software - Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement . This ASU clarifies when entities should account for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement as a software license or service contract. This ASU will be effective beginning in 2016.

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Information | Segment Information We are organized into nine geographic operating segments based on management responsibilities. The operating segments have been aggregated (based on economic similarities, the nature of their products, end-user markets and methods of distribution) into four reportable segments: North America, Europe, International and Corporate. The Corporate segment was established on January 1, 2015 to reflect the activities of centralized functions in our corporate headquarters and to capture results in a manner that the chief operating decision maker reviews. The corporate segment primarily consists of administrative expenses and centrally-managed costs such as interest expense and foreign exchange gains or losses. Additionally, effective January 1, 2015, we changed the allocation methodology applied to research and development expense. The 2014 segment results have been recast to conform with current period presentation. The Company's sales are allocated to each country based primarily on the destination of the end-customer. Reportable segment information is presented in the following table: (In thousands) North America Europe International Corporate Reconciling Items Consolidated Totals Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 Sales to external customers $ 156,141 $ 62,489 $ 55,116 $ — $ — $ 273,746 Intercompany sales 30,463 43,934 4,250 — (78,647 ) — Net income (loss): Continuing operations 25,225 (837 ) 2,275 (10,357 ) (594 ) 15,712 Discontinued operations — — 264 — — 264 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 Sales to external customers $ 445,898 $ 203,819 $ 167,748 $ — $ — $ 817,465 Intercompany sales 101,224 146,052 14,963 — (262,239 ) — Net income (loss): Continuing operations 61,909 1,322 8,926 (22,849 ) (558 ) 48,750 Discontinued operations — — 1,206 — — 1,206 (In thousands) North America Europe International Corporate Reconciling Items Consolidated Totals Three Months Ended September 30, 2014 Sales to external customers $ 131,844 $ 75,785 $ 67,530 $ — $ — $ 275,159 Intercompany sales 28,654 24,424 4,050 — (57,128 ) — Net income (loss): Continuing operations 18,324 2,575 3,807 (6,500 ) 468 18,674 Discontinued operations — — 631 — — 631 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 Sales to external customers $ 400,147 $ 229,606 $ 192,944 $ — $ — $ 822,697 Intercompany sales 87,247 81,520 12,688 — (181,455 ) — Net income (loss): Continuing operations 51,991 12,807 11,570 (21,859 ) (181 ) 54,328 Discontinued operations — — 1,491 — — 1,491 Reconciling items consist primarily of intercompany eliminations and items not directly attributable to operating segments.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings per Share | Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income, after the deduction of preferred stock dividends and undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share assumes the issuance of common stock for all potentially dilutive share equivalents outstanding not classified as participating securities. Participating securities are defined as unvested stock-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company's effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2015 and 2014 was 37.1% and 32.1% , respectively. The 37.1% tax rate from the third quarter of 2015 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to non-deductible losses in certain foreign jurisdictions and other non-deductible expenses, offset partially by income sourced from lower tax jurisdictions. The 32.1% tax rate from the third quarter of 2014 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to tax benefits of earning income in lower tax foreign jurisdictions. The effective tax rate for the nine month period of 2015 was 43.5% . Excluding $7.6 million of charges for the first quarter of 2015 associated with exit taxes related to our European reorganization, the effective tax rate for the nine month periods of 2015 and 2014 was 34.5% and 32.6% , respectively. The 34.5% rate for the nine month period of 2015 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to income sourced from lower tax jurisdictions. The 32.6% rate for the nine month period of 2014 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to tax benefits of earning income in lower tax foreign jurisdictions. At September 30, 2015 , the Company had a gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits of $15.0 million . The Company has recognized tax benefits associated with these liabilities of $5.2 million at September 30, 2015 . The gross liability includes a new amount from the first quarter associated with a foreign tax exposure. The Company recognizes interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. The Company's liability for accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions was $1.4 million at September 30, 2015 . |

In connection with the Company's acquisition of Latchways plc, ("Latchways") the Company entered into an additional credit agreement, effective August 31, 2015. The credit agreement establishes a senior unsecured credit facility consisting of a $125.0 million senior revolving credit facility maturing on the earlier of August 31, 2020 and the final maturity date of MSA’s existing credit facility (which is at present March 7, 2019). Please refer to Note 19 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for further discussion on the acquisition. The revolving credit facilities and note purchase agreements require the Company to comply with specified financial covenants. In addition, the credit facilities and the note purchase agreements contain negative covenants limiting the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to enter into specified transactions. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at September 30, 2015. The Company had outstanding bank guarantees and standby letters of credit with banks as of September 30, 2015 totaling $7.3 million , of which $3.5 million relate to the senior revolving credit facility. The letters of credit serve to cover customer requirements in connection with certain sales orders and insurance companies. No amounts were drawn on these arrangements at September 30, 2015. The Company is also required to provide cash collateral in connection with certain arrangements. At September 30, 2015, the Company has $2.4 million of restricted cash in support of these arrangements. |

Goodwill and Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Intangible Assets Changes in goodwill during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 are as follows: (In thousands) Goodwill Balance at January 1 $ 252,520 Currency translation (4,201 ) Balance at September 30 $ 248,319 At September 30, 2015 , goodwill of $196.5 million , $50.0 million , and $1.8 million related to the North American, European, and International reportable segments, respectively. As of September 30 of each year, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist, we evaluate goodwill for impairment. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred. Such indicators may include a decline in expected cash flows, a significant adverse change in the business climate, unanticipated competition, slower growth rates, or negative developments in equity and credit markets, among others. All goodwill is assigned to reporting units. For goodwill impairment testing purposes, we consider our operating segments to be our reporting units. At September 30, 2015, we performed a quantitative test for all reporting units. Quantitative testing involves comparing the estimated fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. We estimated reporting unit fair value using a weighted average of fair values determined by the income approach (a discounted cash flow model) and the market approach, as we believe both are important indicators of fair value. At September 30, 2015, based on our quantitative test, the fair values of all of our reporting units exceeded their carrying values, and therefore no goodwill impairment was recognized. Changes in intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 are as follows: (In thousands) Intangible Assets Net balance at January 1 $ 31,323 Amortization expense (2,859 ) Impairment Loss (723 ) Currency translation (283 ) Net balance at September 30 $ 27,458 In June 2015, we decided to wind down the sales efforts associated with certain non-core products. A discounted cash flow valuation showed that the book value of intangible assets used to support these non-core product sales exceeded their fair value by $0.7 million . This impairment loss is reported in other income, net in the condensed consolidated statement of income and included in the North American segment information. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are: • Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. • Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. • Level 3—Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The valuation methodologies we used to measure financial assets and liabilities were limited to the derivative financial instruments described in Note 15. We estimate the fair value of the derivative financial instruments, consisting of foreign currency forward contracts, based upon valuation models with inputs that generally can be verified by observable market conditions and do not involve significant management judgment. Accordingly, the fair values of the derivative financial instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. With the exception of fixed rate long-term debt, we believe that the reported carrying amounts of our financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair values. The reported carrying amount of our fixed rate long-term debt (including the current portion) was $146.7 million and $153.3 million at September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The fair value of this debt was $153.5 million and $162.7 million at September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The fair value of this debt was determined using Level 2 inputs as described above. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Contingencies | Contingencies MSA LLC, a subsidiary of MSA Safety Incorporated (formerly Mine Safety Appliances Company), categorizes the product liability losses that its various subsidiaries experience into two main categories: single incident and cumulative trauma. Single incident product liability claims are discrete incidents that are typically known to us when they occur and involve observable injuries which provide an objective basis for quantifying damages. MSA LLC estimates its liability for single incident product liability claims based on expected settlement costs for pending claims and an estimate of costs for unreported claims. The estimate for unreported claims is based on experience, sales volumes and other relevant information. The reserve for single incident product liability claims was $3.5 million at September 30, 2015 and $3.5 million at December 31, 2014 . Single incident product liability expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $0.7 million and $ 0.2 million , respectively. Single incident product liability exposures are evaluated on an ongoing basis and adjustments are made to the reserve as appropriate. Cumulative trauma product liability claims involve exposures to harmful substances (e.g., silica, asbestos and coal dust) that occurred many years ago and may have developed over long periods of time into diseases such as silicosis, asbestosis, or coal worker’s pneumoconiosis. MSA LLC is presently named as a defendant in 2,003 lawsuits, some of which involve multiple plaintiffs. In these lawsuits, plaintiffs allege to have contracted certain cumulative trauma diseases related to exposure to silica, asbestos, and/or coal dust. These lawsuits mainly involve respiratory protection products allegedly manufactured and sold by MSA LLC or its predecessors. A summary of cumulative trauma product liability lawsuit activity follows: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 Year Ended December 31, 2014 Open lawsuits, beginning of period 2,326 2,840 New lawsuits 237 542 Settled and dismissed lawsuits (560 ) (1,056 ) Open lawsuits, end of period 2,003 2,326 More than half of the open lawsuits at September 30, 2015 have had a de minimis level of activity over the last 5 years. It is possible that these cases could become active again at any point due to changes in circumstances. Cumulative trauma product liability litigation has been difficult to predict. In our experience, until late in a lawsuit, we cannot reasonably determine whether it is probable that any of MSA LLC's cumulative trauma lawsuits will ultimately result in a liability. This uncertainty is caused by many factors, including the following: cumulative trauma complaints generally do not provide information sufficient to determine if a loss is probable; cumulative trauma litigation is inherently unpredictable; and information is often insufficient to determine if a lawsuit will develop into an actively litigated case. Even when a case is actively litigated, it is often difficult to determine if the lawsuit will be dismissed or otherwise resolved until late in the lawsuit. Moreover, even once it is probable that such a lawsuit will result in a loss, it is often difficult to reasonably estimate the amount of actual loss that will be incurred. These amounts are highly variable and turn on a case-by-case analysis of the relevant facts, which are often not learned until late in the lawsuit. Consequently, MSA LLC has historically been unable to estimate its cumulative trauma product liability exposure. As part of the company's ongoing assessment of the ability to estimate MSA LLC's cumulative trauma product liability exposure for both pending and unasserted claims, in the 2014 third quarter, MSA LLC engaged an outside valuation consultant to assist with this effort. This assessment was based on MSA LLC’s cumulative claims experience, including recent claims trends, and the development of enhanced claims data analytics. The analysis focused on claims made or resolved over the last several years as these claims are likely to best represent future claim characteristics. After extensive review by the valuation consultant, MSA LLC, and its outside counsel, it was determined that MSA LLC cannot estimate its liability for cumulative trauma product liability claims. This is a result of numerous factors, including annual claims levels and indemnity payments that are highly variable and a lack of consistency in the source of the claims. MSA LLC will continue to regularly evaluate its ability to estimate its cumulative trauma product liability exposure. MSA LLC expects to complete a similar review in the 2015 fourth quarter. During the 2014 fourth quarter and into January 2015, MSA LLC settled a number of cumulative trauma cases for $71.8 million , the vast majority of which were insured. The impact of these settlements was reflected in MSA Safety Incorporated’s 2014 consolidated financial statements and in the above year-end roll-forward of lawsuits. MSA LLC paid $17.0 million related to these settlements in the 2015 third quarter. At September 30, 2015, the cumulative trauma product liability reserve totaled $55.2 million , most of which will be paid equally over the next three quarters, beginning with the 2015 fourth quarter and ending in the 2016 second quarter. All of this amount, was recorded in the insurance and product liability line in the other current liabilities section of the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The cumulative trauma product liability reserve totaled $74.9 million at December 31, 2014, comprising of $35.1 million in other non-current liabilities and the remainder recorded in the insurance and product liability line in the current liabilities section of the consolidated balance sheet. Because litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings or developments could occur, there can be no certainty that MSA LLC may not ultimately incur charges in excess of presently recorded liabilities. Our aggregate cumulative trauma product liability losses and administrative and defense costs for the three years ended December 31, 2014, totaled approximately $169.6 million , substantially all of which was insured. Insurance Receivable With some common contract exclusions, we maintain insurance for cumulative trauma product liability claims. We have purchased insurance policies for the policy years from 1952-1986 from over 20 different insurance carriers that provide coverage for cumulative trauma product liability losses, and in many instances, related defense costs (the "Occurrence-Based Policies"). The available limits of these policies well exceed the recorded insurance receivable balance. In the normal course of business, we make payments to settle product liability claims and for related defense costs. We record receivables for the amounts that are covered by insurance. Since December 31, 2013, the insurance receivable has increased by $95.7 million as a result of the above noted settlements and related defense costs. Various factors could affect the timing and amount of recovery of the insurance receivable, including the outcome of negotiations with insurers, legal proceedings with respect to product liability insurance coverage and the extent to which insurers may become insolvent in the future. Insurance receivables at September 30, 2015 totaled $220.5 million , of which $2.0 million is reported in other current assets and $218.5 million in other non-current assets. Insurance receivables at December 31, 2014 totaled $220.5 million , of which $2.0 million is reported in other current assets and $218.5 million in other non-current assets. A summary of insurance receivable balances and activity related to cumulative trauma product liability losses follows: (In millions) Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 Year Ended December 31, 2014 Balance beginning of period $ 220.5 $ 124.8 Additions 5.0 98.2 Collections and settlements (5.0 ) (2.5 ) Balance end of period $ 220.5 $ 220.5 Additions to insurance receivables in the above table represent insured cumulative trauma product liability losses and related defense costs. Uninsured cumulative trauma product liability losses were $0.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015, and were insignificant during the same period in 2014. Collections primarily represent agreements with insurance companies to pay amounts due that are applicable to cumulative trauma claims. In cases where the payment stream covers multiple years, the present value of the payments is recorded as a note receivable (current and long-term) in the consolidated balance sheet within prepaid expenses and other current assets and other noncurrent assets. MSA LLC believes that the increase in its insurance receivable balance that it has experienced since 2005 is primarily due to disagreements among its insurance carriers, and consequently with MSA LLC, as to when the individual obligations of insurance carriers to pay are triggered and the amount of each insurer’s obligation, as compared to other insurers. MSA LLC believes that its insurers do not contest that they have issued policies to our subsidiaries or that these policies cover cumulative trauma product liability claims. We believe that successful resolution of insurance litigation with various insurance carriers in recent years demonstrates that we have strong legal positions concerning MSA LLC's rights to coverage. The collectability of MSA LLC's insurance receivables is regularly evaluated and the amounts recorded are probable of collection. These conclusions are based on analysis of the terms of the underlying insurance policies, experience in successfully recovering cumulative trauma product liability claims from our insurers under other policies, the financial ability of the insurance carriers to pay the claims, understanding and interpretation of the relevant facts and applicable law and the advice of MSA LLC's legal counsel, who believe that the insurers are required to provide coverage based on the terms of the policies. Although it is impossible to predict the ultimate outcome of current open claims, based on current information, our experience in handling these matters, and our substantial insurance program, we do not believe that the resolution of these claims will have a material adverse effect on our future consolidated financial condition or liquidity. Insurance Litigation MSA LLC is currently involved in insurance coverage litigation with a number of our insurance carriers regarding its Occurrence-Based Policies. In 2009, MSA LLC (as Mine Safety Appliances Company) sued The North River Insurance Company (North River) in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging that North River breached one of its insurance policies by failing to pay amounts owed to MSA LLC and that it engaged in bad-faith claims handling. MSA LLC believes that North River’s refusal to indemnify it under the policy for product liability losses and legal fees paid by MSA LLC is wholly contrary to Pennsylvania law and MSA LLC is vigorously pursuing the legal actions necessary to collect all due amounts. A trial date has not yet been scheduled. In 2010, North River sued MSA LLC (as Mine Safety Appliances Company) in the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania seeking a declaratory judgment concerning their responsibilities under three additional policies. MSA LLC asserted claims against North River for breaches of contract for failures to pay amounts owed to MSA LLC. MSA LLC also alleges that North River engaged in bad-faith claims handling. MSA LLC believes that North River’s refusal to indemnify us under these policies for product liability losses and legal fees paid by MSA LLC is wholly contrary to Pennsylvania law and MSA LLC is vigorously pursuing the legal actions necessary to collect all due amounts. The court has ruled on certain summary judgment motions; others remain pending. A trial date has not yet been scheduled. In July 2010, MSA LLC (as Mine Safety Appliances Company) filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware seeking declaratory and other relief from the majority of its excess insurance carriers concerning the future rights and obligations of MSA LLC and its excess insurance carriers under various insurance policies. The reason for this insurance coverage action is to secure a comprehensive resolution of its rights under the insurance policies issued by the insurers. The court has ruled on certain summary judgment motions; others remain pending. Trial is currently scheduled for the second quarter of 2016. MSA LLC has resolved claims against certain of its insurance carriers on some of their policies, including the Occurrence-Based Policies through negotiated settlements. When a settlement is reached, MSA LLC dismisses the settling carrier from relevant above noted lawsuit(s). Assuming satisfactory resolution, once disputes are resolved with each of the remaining carriers responsible for the Occurrence-Based Policies, MSA LLC anticipates having commitments to provide future payment streams which should be sufficient to satisfy its recorded receivables due from insurance carriers. In addition, MSA LLC likely will retain some coverage through coverage-in-place agreements, although that coverage may not be immediately accessible. When these insurance coverage matters are fully resolved, MSA LLC (and its coverage-in-place carriers, where applicable) will be responsible for expenses related to cumulative trauma product liability claims. |

Subsequent Events [Abstract] | |
Subsequent Event | Subsequent Event On October 21, 2015, we acquired 100% of the common stock of Latchways plc ("Latchways") for $190.9 million in cash. There is no contingent consideration. Latchways, which is headquartered in the UK, is a leading provider of innovative fall protection systems and solutions. The acquisition of Latchways represents a key step in the execution of our corporate strategy by expanding our investment in one of the largest and fastest growing product segments of the global safety market. This acquisition will double our fall protection business, positioning MSA as one of the largest fall protection providers globally. Goodwill related to the Latchways acquisition, which is expected to be primarily included in the European operating segment, is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Our results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 include transaction and integration costs of $0.7 million related to the acquisition. These costs are reported in selling, general and administrative expenses. Latchways operating results will be included in our financial statements from the acquisition date. The acquisition qualifies as a business combination and will be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. At the date of issuance of these financial statements, the initial purchase accounting was not complete. We are also unable to provide pro forma revenues and earnings of the combined entity due to the limited time since the acquisition. This information will be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. |
