At Direct Lanyards, obviously, we’re big fans of lanyards. We know how great they are for carrying I.D. badges, key cards, cell phones and other items. We know how convenient they can be. But we also know they can potentially be hazardous in some situations. That’s why we always offer safety breakaways as a FREE option.

Look, most of the time, lanyards are perfectly safe. But if you’re working in a factory around machinery, in a hospital with confused patients or in a correctional facility, they can be a risk. Safety breakaways give you the advantages of lanyards and keep you safe at the same time.

Here’s how it works: the breakaway part is simply two pieces of plastic on opposite sides of the lanyard that clip together. Ordinarily, the lanyard functions as it should, with no problems. But in the event the lanyard gets caught on a fixture, drawn into a machine or grabbed and pulled, the breakaway splits into two pieces releasing the lanyard from around the wearer’s neck before he or she can be injured.

While it’s easy and comforting to believe such incidents won’t happen, grim statistics say otherwise. They do happen – in hospitals, in factories, in jails. A simple safety breakaway can literally be the difference between life and death. Why take the chance when the breakaways are free?
