An industrial robot able to reliably prevent fall of an elevating part and able to improve a degree of freedom of design, that is, an industrial robot comprising a base body; an elevating part able to rise and descend with respect to the base body; an elevation drive source; a transmission mechanism for transmitting the drive force of the elevation drive source; a drive mechanism for making the elevating part rise and descend by the drive force transmitted via the transmission mechanism; a sensor for detecting an abnormality of the transmission of the drive force from the drive source to the elevating part; and a fall prevention part supported by one of the base body and the elevating part and abutting against the other of the base body and the elevating part and preventing fall of the elevating part when the sensor detects an abnormality of the transmission mechanism.
