Such devices comprise a generally U-shaped member having a long and a short leg, a spring-loaded plunger mechanism which serves to lock a movable retainer bar in a position to securely engage a pre-existing structural member, and an attachment point for a lanyard or other fall prevention device. A positive locking mechanism for the spring loaded plunger is also described.
