A safety key designed specifically for use in connection with concrete wall form panels of the “Steel-Ply”or metal-encased type. The key affords an anchor eyelet or hole for receiving the hook which invariably is provided on one end of a safety belt that is worn by a workman who is obliged to work on the concrete wall form at an extremely high or unsafe level or elevation. The key in one form of the invention embodies a shank and an enlarged head, the shank being received in the opposed notches which are formed in the outermost abutting ribs of the mating and abutting frame members or bars of the marginal reinforcing frames of two adjacent wall form panels, and being removably locked in place by a pair of conventional coacting wedge bolts. The enlarged head on the shank defines the aforementioned anchor eyelet or hole. Alternatively, the shank of the key is capable of being received through a pair of registering bolt-receiving slots in such mating and abutting frame members or bars and of being locked in place by a single wedge bolt.

A workman\s safety device removably attachable in alternative positions to a concrete wall form side of the type that embodies a plurality of upstanding panels arranged in edge-to-edge relation, each panel embodying an inner facing from which there projects outwardly a marginal reinforcing frame including vertical frame members each having inner and outer, laterally outwardly extending longitudinal ribs and a flat web portion extending between the ribs, said ribs having notches at spaced centers therealong and said web portions having wedge bolt-receiving slots at spaced centers therealong and in horizontal alignment with respective notches, the frame members of adjacent panels being arranged in contiguity with the corresponding notches thereof disposed in registry and defining therebetween tie rod-receiving voids and the corresponding wedge bolt-receiving slots thereof disposed in pairs of opposed slots in horizontal alignment with respective voids, said device comprising an elongated shank portion and an integral head portion, said shank portion having a longitudinal slot therein sized to receive the shank portion of a wedge bolt therethrough, said head portion having an opening therein sized to receive the hook portion of a workman\s safety belt therethrough, said shank portion of the device being sized for removable insertion of a distal end thereof in the alternative through an unused one of said voids or through an unused one of said pairs of web portion slots and having a length such that its distal end is confined between contiguous frame members when inserted through a void defined therebetween, said head portion being enlarged with respect to said shank portion of the device, said voids and said web portion slots, so as to prevent passage of the head portion through a void or a web portion slot, said slot in the shank portion of the device registering with one of said pairs of web portion slots when such shank portion is inserted through a void aligned with the one pair of slots, for receiving the shank portion of a wedge bolt through the registering slots, said slot in the shank portion of the device projecting outwardly from said frame members on the side thereof opposite to the side from which said head portion of the device projects when such shank portion is inserted through a pair of web portion slots, for receiving the shank portion of a wedge bolt through such slot, said integral shank and head portions being constructed to withstand the stress of a load transmitted to the device from the workman\s safety belt.
