In a work assisting apparatus helping workers to lift heavy objects with hands, their work is assisted with a light-weight and simply configured winding device, contributing to cost and load reduction while refraining a belt as a support wire rope from hindering their normal working behavior, or another objects from being caught in or wound around the belt, the work assisting apparatus including: a fitting portion fitted on a torso, a wearing portion worn on an arm or a hand of a worker, a belt with one end portion combined to the wearing portion, and a winding device coupled to the fitting portion and winding another end side of the belt. The winding device includes a lock mechanism locking a draw-out position of the belt so as to restrict further drawing out when drawing the one end portion.
