HOW TO TETHER TOOLS:
Tethering tools is as easy as one, two, three.
1
TETHER POINT
Begin with a tether point on the tool itself.
As many tools don’t have an attachment point for
a tool lanyard, LINQ have developed tether points
that can be retrofitted to any tool without causing
damage or limiting its use.

TOOL LANYARD
1
There are different types of tool lanyards for
different equipment, tasks and environments.
It’s important to assess both your tools and where
they’ll be used to decide which kind of lanyard
is most suitable. You may want to have several
types and lengths of lanyards to allow you
to use your tools in various scenarios
without any difficulty.
SELF FUSING TAPE:
When using silicone tape – LINQ Recommends
a minimum of two passes of the length
of the tether.
CERTIFIED TOOL ANCHOR POINTS
IN THREE EASY STEPS:
1. Cut a length of tape between 30cm - 40cm
(or enough to go around the tool at least
10 times).

ANCHOR POINT
2
The anchor point needs to be just as robust
as the rest of the system. For lighter tools, they
can be secured to a wristband, a workbelt or to a
harness worn by the worker. Heavier items should
be tethered to a strong, fixed point such
as a load rated rail or beam.
ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT YOUR TOOL
TETHERING SYSTEM IS ONLY AS STRONG
AS ITS WEAKEST POINT.
