If it is in your mind that the belt will give you a safer lift, I would belt up. When you grab the bar you want to be very sure of your abilities and strength, if the belt reinforces your mental strength go for it.

Little belt tip, power breathing against the belt will increase your stability and strength a good deal.

Goodluck
