safety strap

Harness attachment point

A safety strap is a band of strong material—leather, nylon, or webbing—designed to secure a person or object and prevent falling or sudden movement.

Cameras have wrist straps, tools have tethers, and workers at heights wear harnesses with safety straps: Always attach the safety strap before climbing.
