Work hands out lots of neck lanyards for various reasons. The ONLY ones I'll wear have a designed-in breakaway mechanism. There's no need to take any risk because of a lanyard.
There's nothing quite like having your neck lanyard getting caught in a shredding machine to get the adrenalin juices flowing is there?
We have, and use, a DoD approved shredder and it's quite a fierce machine. Chewing thru the badges before it got hold of the lanyard would injure it pretty badly but I wouldn't want to engage in a tug-of-war with it using the back of my neck as my side of the war.
And all knives of any size, even 1" SAK, are forbidden in the workplace so there would be no (legal)self-rescue.
There oughta be a Dilbert strip about this.......
