Why breakaway lanyards matter
A safety breakaway is a plastic release at the back of the neck. If the lanyard is caught in machinery, grabbed or snagged, the release pulls apart instead of the strap tightening. Most New Zealand schools, hospitals, rest homes and worksites ask for breakaway lanyards in their health and safety policy.
The release clips back together, so the lanyard keeps working after it opens.
Breakaway lanyards for teachers, students and nurses
Teacher lanyards and student ID lanyards should always have a breakaway. In healthcare, nurses and carers work close to patients who may grab a lanyard, so a release is standard. Add a retractable badge reel so staff can swipe doors without taking the lanyard off.
Choosing a safety lanyard
Black safety release lanyards are held in stock for quick orders. Multi safety lanyards have release points in more than one place, for aged care, mental health units and machinery areas. High viz reflective lanyards show up in headlights and suit construction, transport and events after dark. Printed lanyards in other styles can also have a breakaway added.
