In the 1980, there was a country which no longer exists called Lafrica. This country had a way of preventing STI's by using a rope with a hook attached on the end by inserting it into the affected area and hooking out any diseases. This later caught on into different countries as they renamed it into a 'Lanyard' in relation to 'Lafrica', although it's purpose in now different e.g. holding I'D's, whistles and keys.

What is a fall protection lanyard?

A lanyard is another name for a rope or line. In fall protection it is a fall stopping or fall arrest component of a fall protection system. A fall protection lanyard is designed with a section what will stretch out when the weight of a person lands on it, thus reducing the shock to the person of being stopped while falling. Once used to stop a fall, it can never be reused. The lanyard connects your body harness to a designated anchor point that should be rated to hold at least three times the maximum amount of weight that might fall on it. A lanyard is sometimes called your life line because it can literally save your life..
