Industrial location? Probably strong enough in direct tension, (apart from the dubious fix with a couple of clout nails), but there's no lateral restraint. Is this strap galvanised steel or plastic?
The floor joists look on the thin side too. They look like floorboarding laid on edge! The risk here is joists 'rolling'. No herring-bone struts visible to counter this.
