A security device for providing a detachable and adjustable connection of a workman's safety belt lanyard to a safety line or the like. The device includes a pair of vertically spaced pivotally mounted cams having serrated cam faces directed into a vertical channel adapted to receive a safety line. The cams are joined by a link to maintain their parallel relation and are spring loaded toward a line engaging position. A pivoted eye connected to the link provides an attachment point for a lanyard. The frame of the device includes pivotally connected front and rear frame portions which may be opened to apply the device to or remove it from a safety line. A latch mechanism provides a secure locking of the frame portions in their closed line clamping position, but may be readily released to allow removal of the device from a line.

A shock absorbing lanyard (10) having a warning flag (20) for indicating the status of the lanyard (10). Upon the application of a predetermined force, as the lanyard (10) elongates, a gathered section (18) simultaneously stretches and frees the flag (20). The freed flag (20) indicates that the lanyard (10) has been used and must be discarded.
