Hard Hat | Helmet Lanyard
Hard Hat | Helmet Lanyard
Overview
The Formetco helmet lanyard is designed as an interconnection element between the harness and the helmet that prevents it from falling when working at heights onto workers or structures below. On an active billboard site, a helmet that comes loose during a reach or an unexpected movement becomes exactly the kind of falling-object hazard that fall protection programs are meant to prevent — this lanyard closes that gap by keeping the helmet physically connected to the wearer’s harness.
Specifications
- Product type: Helmet lanyard, adjustable
- Dimension: 6.00” × 12.00” / 0.15 × 0.30 m
- Capacity: 0.10 kg / 4 lb

How It’s Used
As an adjustable helmet lanyard, it is sized to run between a harness connection point and the helmet’s retention points, with enough adjustment range to accommodate different configurations and working postures. Because the connection stays in place continuously rather than only when a worker remembers to clip in separately, it removes a step that could otherwise be missed during a fast-paced task at height.
Sizing and Rating
The lanyard measures 6.00″ × 12.00″ (0.15 × 0.30 m) and carries a capacity of 0.10 kg (4 lb), sized specifically for the weight of a hard hat or helmet rather than heavier tools or equipment, which keeps the lanyard itself lightweight and unobtrusive to wear.
Visibility
Finished in Orange Hi-Vis, the lanyard is easy to spot during a pre-use inspection, helping a crew member or safety observer quickly confirm the connection is in place and undamaged before work begins at height.
Why It Matters
Falling-object hazards aren’t limited to tools — a helmet dislodged from height carries real risk to anyone working or standing below. Pairing a harness with a dedicated helmet lanyard extends the same falling-object protection principle already applied to tethered tools to the helmet itself.
