Safety Lanyards with breakaway feature
Our extensive catalogue of safety lanyards all come with a breakaway feature, which releases if the lanyard is pulled, becomes stuck, or hooks around an object such as a door handle.
Particularly suitable for offices or workspaces where staff use equipment such as shredders or manufacturing tools and security staff who may be exposed to aggressive behaviour, this essential feature protects the user's welfare.

Our Product Picks
The built-in breakaway within a safety lanyard removes any possible risk of choking and ensures that employers and organisations comply with their responsibilities to provide suitable workplace accessories.
While there is often a minimal chance of a lanyard becoming trapped or caught, the added reassurance means that any accident, fall or incident will not result in a preventable serious outcome.
Safety lanyards are also a crucial requirement for many organisations where staff may work alone or be exposed to potential aggression, including those working in behaviour management, emergency departments and traffic control.
We have highlighted some of our most popular safety lanyards below:
Contractor Lanyards: Produced in an array of colourways, these lanyards include bold print for instant identification and a breakaway that is important for wearers handling equipment and machinery in the event of a malfunction.
Student Lanyards: Colleges, schools, universities and work experience placements issue student lanyards to differentiate between trained, qualified employees and students. This process ensures added safety and supervision of all students on the premises.
Security Lanyards: These bright, bold red lanyards are perfect for event staff, security personnel, patrols and guards, who stand out as designated security staff with the authority to address any unwanted behaviour or perform ID checks.
Pre-Printed NHS Lanyards: NHS workers and volunteers can wear pre-printed lanyards with the logo and colours clearly on display while having a breakaway that may be compulsory in A&E units where confrontational situations may occur.
Please Give Me Space Lanyards: Available from stock with a 24-hour delivery lead time, these lanyards are used in education, healthcare and community services, where individuals need a way to communicate their wish to be given extra room or have additional needs that can mean crowded spaces are a source of anxiety.

Why Choose Safety Lanyards With a Breakaway?
Safety lanyards are used in multiple settings as we have explored and ensure that accidents or confrontations where a lanyard is pulled or trapped do not pose a serious safety risk. The breakaway automatically detaches under pressure, such as when a lanyard becomes stuck in a door, machine, printer or handle.
What Are the Applications for Safety Lanyards?
We've touched on some of the use cases. Still, a safety lanyard is suitable for any environment, from an office to an industrial manufacturing site, where lanyard wearers could hook their lanyards onto an object. Safety lanyards are also widely used in detention centres, medical facilities, and schools.
Which ID Card Clips Do Safety Lanyards Come With?
You'll find full details of each lanyard specification on the respective product page, including the standard clip the lanyard is produced with. These clips are sturdy and clip onto your ID badge holder or security pass. If you require an alternative clip, you can select from several alternatives on most lanyard products and simply need to let us know your preferences at checkout.
