yes - these are elements of the truss system which holds up your roof. Usually, any 2x4 you find in an attic is safe to step on - except for small pieces uses to mount vent pipes.

2I second this. One thing to add though is to make sure that the 2x4 is attached. I have occasionally seen boards in attics that aren't attached at all! Dec 15, 2014 at 3:46
