Retractable Lanyard with Adhesive Backing for Fox 40 Whistle

This retractable whistle lanyard sticks to a helmet, radio, or gear with its adhesive backing and keeps a Fox 40 whistle within reach. Pull the whistle to your mouth, blow, and let it reel back out of the way.

Why a whistle belongs on every crew

Saws and chippers drown out voices, and a whistle cuts through noise when someone needs to stop work or get attention fast. Many crews agree on simple whistle signals, and a whistle only helps if it is on you. This retractable reel keeps it close without a cord dangling around your neck near a running saw.

Stick it on a helmet, radio, or harness strap where you can reach it with either hand. See other crew communication gear for headsets.

Mounting and use

Clean and dry the surface before applying the adhesive, press firmly, and let it set before use. Check with the helmet maker before sticking anything to a helmet shell, since some do not allow adhesives.

A whistle is also useful when a radio or headset fails, when a member of the public walks under the work zone, or when someone needs help and cannot get to a radio. The reel keeps the whistle off the ground and out of the gear bag, so it is there the moment you need it. Consider one for every crew member, not only the climber.

Agree on whistle and hand signals with the crew before work starts, and use command-and-response communication as ANSI Z133 expects. A whistle backs up those systems; it does not replace them.
