Health and Safety Risk Alert - Lanyards
BCNU members are urged to immediately check their safety lanyards to ensure break-away clasps work properly
All BCNU members are urged to immediately check their safety lanyards to ensure that break-away clasps are working properly. Plastic clasps should release immediately when the lanyard is subject to forceful pressure. No member should be using a lanyard without three quick-release clasps. If you are using an old lanyard without a three-point release, please discontinue use immediately.
If you test your lanyard and it does not release as it should, do not continue to use it. Periodic re-checking of the quick-release clasps is also advised.
