The invention relates to a polyester industrial yarn for a safety belt and a preparation method of the polyester industrial yarn. The preparation method comprises the steps of carrying out solid-phasecondensation polymerization tackifying, melting, metering, extrusion, cooling, oiling, stretching, heat shaping and winding on a modified polyester melt, so as to obtain the polyester industrial yarnfor the safety belt. A preparation method of modified polyester before solid-phase condensation polymerization tackifying comprises the steps of uniformly mixing terephthalic acid, glycol, 2,5,6,6-tetramethyl-2,5-heptanediol and 2,2,3,4,5,5-hexamethyl-3,4-hexanediol, and sequentially carrying out esterification reaction and condensation polymerization reaction. After the safety belt prepared fromthe polyester industrial yarn is tested according to the GB14166-93 standard, the tensile strength value of the worn safety belt is higher than 80% of the tensile strength value of the safety belt before wearing. The method is simple in process, and the wear resistance of the safety belt prepared from the polyester industrial yarn is good.
