Does anyone know if there have been break away lanyards for emergency call pendants in 2006? i am researching for safety.

Thank you.

Hi, my SO works as an operator for a muni transit co. and they provide everyone with a lanyard that has a velcro "snap" at back - under significant pressure it gives and for that reason I like to use hand-me-downs lanyards from years prior for keeping track of my sailing knife. Let me know if you want any more details. Good luck.

I had a break away lanyard as early as 1998.

Yeah, I wore mine for about a week. It got in the way every time I went in to take care of a patient.
