An anchor point and method for creating an anchor point in a metal composite deck. The anchor point is made by inserting a connector plate into a slot opening formed in the metal corrugated panel used to make a metal composite deck. The connector plate is a flat, elongated bar with two opposite ends. Formed on the upper end is a first opening designed to receive a structural rebar or an ancillary rebar member attached to the-structural rebar that becomes imbedded into the composite deck. Formed on the lower end of the connector plate is a second opening designed to connect to a suitable D-ring connector plate or clip used by a construction worker when working under the deck and installing fixtures to the bottom surface of the metal composite deck.
