Safety with Lanyards
Any company that places value on safety and security amongst employees and in their interactions with the public should consider an investment in reflective lanyards. Most companies today use them as a way to hold ID cards of various security passes. Even companies who send out repair men to the field for in home or at office repairs use them so their employees are easily identifiable. For companies with any employee type from crossing guards to construction workers to emergency personnel both the employee and the patron will benefit from reflective lanyards because they are both easier to see and easier to use.
Availability in these new reflective styles includes one standard width (5/8”) and 36 inch lengths. Or if you choose to get a customized lanyard you may elect a slightly larger width. It gets its reflective qualities from a high quality polyester surface that is woven into the fabric. These particular lanyards come in a variety of colors including red, yellow, black and blue. Yellow is an ideal choice for true reflectivity because its color already possesses a light attracting quality. It has a swivel clasp included to use for the actual ID badge, this allows for easy use of whatever you plan to hold in the badge.
There are also break-a-way clasps that add another level of safety because in the event you are wearing the lanyard and it gets stuck it is easily broken free because the clasp simply snaps off. If you are using the lanyard at a construction, for example, you can have a custom message woven into the badge like ‘Safety Primero!’ If you would like a message included in the lanyard it can be done by either having it woven in or screen printed on top. For the extra fancy corporation you can have a material used that actually glows in the darkness.
These glow in the dark lanyards are perfect for use in any situation where visibility is of utmost importance. Here are a few examples of where reflective lanyards should be used;
Concerts typically have limited light, lots of pot and lots of security guards. By using reflective lanyards concert goers can easily identify security personnel in the event they have a security concern.
In an emergency there are many people who are overcome with emotion. This prevents them from using normal body mechanics which can make it harder than normal to identify paramedics or doctors or police officers.
On a site that has hazardous material with varied amounts of consistent light reflective lanyards can be used to add an extra level of easily identifiable apparel.
