A tool lanyard wrist cuff includes a fixed closed loop band and an adjustment tab extending therefrom. A first fastener part of a releasable fastener is fixedly attached to a loop outside surface of the closed loop band. The adjustment tab has a tab inside surface, a tab outside surface, and a distal end portion. The adjustment tab has a second fastener part of the releasable fastener fixedly attached to the tab inside surface of the distal end portion. The second fastener part is configured for releasable engagement with the first fastener part when the adjustment tab is folded with the tab inside surface against the loop outside surface to position the second fastener part in engagement with the first fastener part. A lanyard connector is secured to the distal end portion of the adjustment tab.

1. A safety wrist cuff for connecting to a tool lanyard and for being secured to a range of wrist sizes, the safety wrist cuff comprising: a fixed, closed loop band having a fixed size formed by folding a strap onto itself with a first end portion of the strap being fixedly attached to an attachment
1. A safety wrist cuff for connecting to a tool lanyard and for being secured to a range of wrist sizes, the safety wrist cuff comprising: a fixed, closed loop band having a fixed size formed by folding a strap onto itself with a first end portion of the strap being fixedly attached to an attachment point on a middle portion of the strap, wherein the safety wrist cuff is configured to be adjustably secured to a range of wrist sizes by wrapping around a wrist in a manner that folds the fixed, closed loop band upon itself;an adjustment tab extending from the attachment point of the fixed, closed loop band and having a tab inside surface, a tab outside surface, and a distal end portion;a releasable fastener having a first fastener part and a second fastener part, wherein the first fastener part is fixedly attached to an outside surface of the fixed, closed loop band and the second fastener part is fixedly attached to the tab inside surface of the distal end portion, andwherein the first fastener part is positioned along the outside surface of the fixed, closed loop band to require the fixed, closed loop band to fold on itself when the second fastener part engages the first fastener part with the adjustment tab wrapped along the fixed, closed loop band; anda lanyard connector secured to the distal end portion of the adjustment tab, wherein the adjustment tab is configured to separate from the fixed, closed loop band by opening the releasable fastener when the lanyard connector is subjected to an adequate pulling force, thereby releasing the fixed, closed loop band from being folded upon itself, loosening the safety wrist cuff around the wrist of a user, and facilitating the safety wrist cuff disengaging from the user's wrist. 2. The safety wrist cuff of claim 1 wherein the releasable fastener is selected from the group consisting of a snap, a snap button, and a hook-and-loop fastener. 3. The safety wrist cuff of claim 1 wherein the closed loop band includes a length of a stretchable material between the first fastener part and the adjustment tab. 4. The safety wrist cuff of claim 3 wherein the stretchable material comprises elastic. 5. The safety wrist cuff of claim 4, further comprising a retaining strip securing the lanyard connector to the tab outside surface of the adjustment tab. 6. The safety wrist cuff of claim 1, wherein the closed loop band is openable. 7. The safety wrist cuff of claim 6, wherein a first body end of the closed loop band is openably attached to a body portion of the tool lanyard wrist cuff using a connector selected from the group consisting of break-away stitching, at least one snap, and at least one snap button. 8. The safety wrist cuff of claim 7 wherein the connector used for openably attaching the first body end to the body portion requires a separation force selected from the group consisting of a separation force that is equal to a separation force of the adjustment tab from the fixed closed loop and a separation force that is greater than the separation force of the adjustment tab from the fixed closed loop. 9. A method of restraining a tool to a wrist of a user, the method comprising: providing a safety wrist cuff for connecting to a tool lanyard and for being secured to a range of wrist sizes, the safety wrist cuff comprising: a fixed, closed loop band with a fixed size and formed by folding a strap onto itself with a first end portion of the strap being fixedly attached to a middle portion of the strap;an adjustment tab extending from the fixed, closed loop band and having a tab inside surface, a tab outside surface, and a distal end portion;a releasable fastener having a first fastener part and a second fastener part, wherein the first fastener part is fixedly attached to an outside surface of the fixed, closed loop band and the second fastener part is fixedly attached to the tab inside surface of the distal end portion, wherein the first fastener part is positioned along the outside surface of the fixed, closed loop band to require the fixed, closed loop band to fold on itself when the second fastener part engages the first fastener part with the adjustment tab wrapped along the fixed, closed loop band; anda lanyard connector secured to the distal end portion of the adjustment tab, wherein the adjustment tab is configured to separate from the fixed, closed loop band by opening the releasable fastener when the lanyard connector is subjected to an adequate pulling force, thereby releasing the fixed, closed loop band from being folded upon itself, loosening the safety wrist cuff around the wrist of a user, and facilitating the safety wrist cuff disengaging from the user's wrist;inserting the user's wrist through the fixed, closed loop band;folding the fixed, closed loop band on itself with the adjustment tab wrapped along an outside surface of the fixed, closed loop band;engaging the first fastener part with the second fastener part; andattaching a tool lanyard to the lanyard connector. 10. The method of claim 9 further comprising selecting the first fastener part and the second fastener part from the group of releasable fasteners consisting of a snap, a snap button, and a hook-and-loop fastener. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein the step of providing the safety wrist cuff includes selecting the fixed, closed loop band with the first end portion openably attached to the body portion. 12. The method of claim 11 wherein the first end portion is openably attached using a second fastener with a separation force that is greater than the separation force required to separate the first fastener part from the second fastener part.
