Hang on to your hard hat… There’s a new low-cost safety lanyard

The new Gear Keeper© Standard Hard Hat Lanyard adds more safety for less than $8

Gear Keeper
March 6, 2017

Working at ground level, your hard hat protects you from an object falling from above. But when someone is working aloft, a falling hard hat becomes a one-pound unguided missile that endangers the entire worksite. 

A fall-arrest harness will protect an at-heights dislodged worker, but his fall-arrest harness won’t protect the work site because his hard hat which will continue its descent creating a hazardous condition below. Designed for use with all fall-protection harness systems, the new Gear Keeper TL1-5001 Standard Hard Hat Lanyard is the economical option that completes this often-missing safety link. 

The TL1-5001 Hard Hat Lanyard has a 20” loop-mounted retention strap employing a spring clip that is designed to attach to fall-protection harness systems or clothing of the proper structure such as coveralls or a vest. The clip is easy to attach and the new lanyard that retails for only $7.95, is very affordable. The TL1-5001 cost-effective hard hat lanyard is weight tested to safely retain commonly used industrial hard hats.
