ABSTRACT The present invention relates to a safety belt adapted to be worn by a person for preventing the fall of such person on a ladder or when ascending or descending the ladder. The present novel safety belt allows the user of the belt to alternately reach to the left or right of the ladder without adjusting the length of the belt during use and further allow the person using such a belt to remain securely held to the ladder. The safety belt comprises a first belt member for fitting around the waist of a person. A second belt member is provided which is adapted to be secured to a ladder and terminates in a first free end and a second free end. The second belt is slidably secured to the first belt between the first free end and the second free end. Ladder rung engaging members extend from each of the free ends of the second belt whereby when the safety belt is worn and in use by a person on a ladder and secured to a ladder through the ladder engaging members, a person can alternately reach to the left or right of the ladder and slidably move the first belt towards either of the free ends without adjusting the length of the second belt and remain securely held to the ladder. The second belt may be adjustable in length. This may be conveniently accomplished by providing a second belt that extends longitudi- nally to a buckle having a first opening and a second opening separated by a cross-bar and through the second opening and then in a looped configuration back to the cross-bar where it is secured. The looped configuration comprises one of the ends of the second belt. The ladder securing member may comprise a looped substantially rigid device lying in a first plane through which the second belt passes and is secured. The looped member extends into a hook lying in a second plane substantially normal to the first plane.
