A tool lanyard specifically designed for this job keeps a tool secure so that even if a worker drops it, it never reaches the ground. As an added bonus, such lanyards are generally inexpensive when compared to the cost of the tools themselves or the potential financial costs of having an accident. When it comes to preventing dropped tools, lanyards are one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to deal with the issue.]]></description>
