AXS Monitor Mate
A breakaway lanyard that holds your personal gas monitor in the breathing zone — steady, comfortable, and off your FR shirt collar.
Built by a field safety consultant, for the field
Stability Triangle
A stiffened webbing triangle keeps the monitor from flopping around and holds it close to the chest when you lean over.
Magnetic breakaway
A matched pair of neodymium magnets at the neck releases on a hard pull, so the lanyard lets go when it snags.
Breathing-zone position
Holds the monitor up near the face, where it can sample the air you breathe — without stretching your collar and exposing skin.
Built to take a hitch
1″ nylon webbing, heat-sealed edges and bar-tacked stress points. Fits standard monitor belt clips.
Started on a secondhand sewing machine in 2017
John R. Souza was a safety manager for a roustabout crew when the operator required atmospheric monitors to be worn in the breathing zone. Crews clipped them to their collars. In summer heat the collars stretched, leaving skin below the neck unprotected from flash fire — and ruining expensive FR shirts.
He couldn’t find a lanyard that could comfortably carry a monitor’s weight and break away safely, so he bought a used sewing machine, taught himself to sew, and built one. What began as a fix for his own crews is now on its third design and used by workers across the industry.
100% American-made by a small business that’s been in the field.
