A safety harness is a harness designed to protect a person, animal, or object from getting injured (i.e. falling). The harness is attached with a rope or cable to a stationary object and to non-stationary person, animal or object via cloth straps, metal wires, etc.

A harness designed for someone to hang from is not strictly a safety harness as it is not a failsafe, but rather a primary apparatus. Some safety harnesses are used in combination with a shock absorber, which is used to regulate deceleration when the end of the rope is reached.

Safety harness types include seat belts and other restraints such as child safety seats and over-the-shoulder restraints used on roller coaster trains, for example. Occupations that may involve the use of safety harnesses include:
