Single‑leg external energy‑absorbing lanyard with snap hooks on both ends. Designed for fall‑protection use; includes an external energy absorber to limit forces in a fall. The product includes a protected label pack and identification tags (QR/RFID) to assist with inspection and asset tracking.
Project Ideas
Business
PPE Asset Tracking & Inspection Service
Offer a subscription service that enrolls each lanyard’s QR/RFID into an asset platform, schedules inspections, and generates OSHA 1910.140/1926.502 and ANSI Z359.13 audit-ready reports. Provide on-site tagging, mobile scanning, and auto-retirement alerts after events or service life.
Fall Protection Kit Rentals
Rent short-term jobsite kits (harness, 6 ft energy-absorbing lanyard, anchors) with documented pre-rental inspections. Use the embedded QR/RFID for digital check-in/out and traceability. Replace any unit exposed to a fall; clean, inspect, and certify between rentals.
Mobile Toolbox Training Pop-Ups
Deliver on-site micro-trainings that teach proper lanyard selection, pre-use checks, and recordkeeping. Each attendee scans a lanyard’s tag to practice logging inspections. Upsell compliant kits and service contracts for ongoing inspections.
Niche E‑Commerce + Content Hub
Launch a focused online store for fall protection with comparison guides on external vs. internal energy absorbers, fit/weight ranges (130–310 lb), and standards. Integrate product QR/RFID enrollment at checkout, and offer bundles for new crews. Monetize via sales and affiliate content.
Safety Compliance Audits for SMBs
Provide annual or quarterly audits of clients’ fall-protection inventories. Scan and reconcile all lanyard tags, verify labels and service life, and produce corrective-action plans. Charge a retainer that includes on-call replacements and training refreshers.
Creative
Interactive Safety Education Station
Build a portable demo board that showcases each component of the lanyard (snap hooks, polyester webbing, external energy absorber, protected label pack). Include a QR/RFID scanner to simulate digital inspections and log entries, plus laminated inspection checklists. Use videos/diagrams to illustrate energy absorption (no live drops). Great for classrooms, career days, or toolbox talks.
Forces You Can’t See Exhibit
Create an industrial-design display about fall forces and deceleration. Mount the lanyard (non-load-bearing) behind clear acrylic with graphic overlays explaining ANSI Z359.13 and how external absorbers reduce impact. Add a scannable QR that triggers AR visuals of absorber deployment and inspection tips.
Escape Room Compliance Puzzle
Design a ground-level puzzle where players must read the protected label pack, decode inspection dates, and scan RFID/QR tags to unlock clues. Snap hooks are connected to clearly labeled fixtures to complete sequences—strictly as props, not to support weight. Teaches compliance awareness through play.
Inspection Scavenger Hunt
Run a gamified training session: teams inspect multiple lanyards (some intentionally marked with mock defects) and use the QR/RFID tags to log findings. Points for correctly identifying pass/fail criteria, recording serials, and citing relevant OSHA/ANSI references.
Photo Series: Six Feet
Produce a visual storytelling project using the 6 ft length as a motif—contrasting spaces, boundaries, and safety culture. The bright yellow webbing becomes the framing element. Pair each image with a short caption about safe practices and the role of energy absorbers.
