Lanyards - Neck cords for wearing your badge

What is a Lanyard?
Lanyards are Neck cords that allow you to attach your ID badge so your ID is always visible.


Lanyards are commonly used to display badges, tickets or ID cards for identification where security is required.

Most neck lanyards are made with a polyester, nylon blend and are commonly worn around the neck. Lanyards come in many different colors and styles and are available with many different end fittings. The most common style of lanyard is the breakaway lanyard. Breakaway is a safety feature that allows the neck cord to be removed without having to slip the lanyard over your head. When you pull on a breakaway lanyard the plastic piece that is the breakaway pulls apart allowing for the lanyard to be removed. Breakaway is a safety feature and is not meant to be used on a daily basis for removing the lanyard, it is meant to be used only if you get caught in something. Security Imaging also carries Non breakaway lanyards, pre-printed lanyards and custom lanyards. Pre-Printed lanyards have a message or department name printed on them. Custom lanyards are great because you can customize them with your company name or logo, promoting your company while your employees wear their required ID badge.

New Pennsylvania law requires physicians to wear photo IDs

States are working to guarantee that patients know whom they are seeing and are not deceived by health professionals who misrepresent their training.
By CAROLYNE KRUPA, amednews staff. Posted Dec. 20, 2010.

A new Pennsylvania law aims to make it clear for patients who is taking their blood pressure, giving them an injection or preparing to operate on a loved one.

Under the law signed Nov. 23 by Gov. Edward Rendell, physicians, nurses and other health care professionals soon will be required to wear photo identification badges that state their credentials in large block letters, with descriptions such as "physician" or "registered nurse."
"The idea is that you can read this instantly at a conversational distance," said John J. Laskas Jr., MD, a dermatologist in Glen Mills, Pa., and chair of the Pennsylvania Academy of Dermatology and Dermatologic Surgery's patient safety and scope of practice committee. "Then the patient knows and can make a judgment whether or not this is the level of expertise they need. We need to know and have a right to know the credentials of the person who is giving us care."

PHS students, staff ready for ID badges

They were a little resistant at first, but once they understood the reasoning behind it, members of the Prescott High School Student Council decided that displaying PHS identification badges at all times was "no big deal."

The reason, school administrators said, is safety. With ID badges in plain sight, school officials will know who does and - more importantly - does not belong on the PHS campus.

Starting Sept. 8, all PHS students, teachers and staff members must wear their ID badges so the badges are visible all time. This means wearing the ID badge on a lanyard or other form of neckwear, or clip - as long as it is above the waist on the outside of clothing.

PHS Student Council Vice President Tess Peterson realizes that displaying the ID badge is a "small thing."

Elected to represent their fellow classmates, the class presidents said that at first they wondered why the administration was taking such an action, and if it was necessary at PHS.

"A good majority of students thought this was going a little overboard and was just another rule we had to live with," Sophomore Class President Levi Rosdahl.

The new ID badge requirement is the result of Prescott High's North Central Accreditation process. Read More...

School staff should know who belongs by wearing id badges

The Daily Courier


Prescott High School is implementing, effective Sept. 8, a policy of having teachers, staff and students wear identification badges at all times. They must be displayed, not kept in a pocket, wallet or purse.

District employees with whom The Daily Courier spoke cited the need to meet North Central Accreditation guidelines for security. Students saw it as "no big deal" once they learned the idea was to keep the campus safer for the students.

Principal Totsy McCraley said the ID badges would allow everyone to know with whom they are talking. Teachers will be able to greet students by name as they enter the buildings, and students will be able to learn each other's names and what grade they are in.

What happened to knowing your students and colleagues as a matter of course? In our experience, even schools with large student populations have had little problem with this by having teachers and staff in the halls between classes and getting to know their charges.

Online comments at dCourier.com have likened the badges to the World War II era of Nazis requiring Jews to wear yellow stars for identification.

We do not believe it rises quite to that level; however, the flaw comes with NCA officials thinking this is a good thing - when more of a community environment is what we need.

School officials said with ID badges in plain sight, they will know who does and does not belong on the campus.
