A space saving anchor point for a concrete deck or column. The anchor point includes an external rigid member that attaches to the elongated receiver box and becomes embedded into the concrete. The external rigid member may be a T-shaped bracket with an elongated main flange and two parallel side flanges or two L-shaped brackets each with a main flange and a perpendicularly aligned side flange. Formed between the two side flanges on the T-bracket is a center space that receives an elongated receiver box. The elongated box is a partially enclosed structure with a lower opening that communicates with an interior cavity. Extending between the side flanges and transversely through the interior cavity is a rod with its opposite ends that extend laterally from the sides of the side flanges and become covered with concrete. Attached to the portion of the rod located inside the elongated box's interior cavity is an elongated connector plate. The connector plate is assembled on the rod and is configured to rotate around the rod and move longitudinally inward inside the interior cavity to hidden position or moved outward from the interior cavity partially exposing the plates' second opening.
