A vertical support ‘O’ shaped fastener clip for temporarily securing vertical supplemental support cables to horizontal main support cables within elevated work decks which are temporarily installed upon structures such as a bridge to perform work on said structure. The vertical support ‘O’ shaped fastener clip which can be installed by tightening a single bolt, is comprised of a rod bent in a general shape similar to the letter ‘C’ with a threaded means at least at one end and a hollow tube attached to the other end, a bolt inserted through the hollow tube with a coupling nut threaded onto the end of the bolt. The hollow tube, bolt and coupling nut are aligned so that the coupling nut may be threaded onto the threaded end of the bent rod to close the open side of the ‘C’ shaped rod and form a closed ‘O’ shape. A generally flat cover plate with at least two openings in it to allow the bent rod to pass through so that when two separate cables on either side of a deck panel are secured together by means of the ‘O’ shaped fastener clip through an opening in the deck panel, the plate covers the opening in the deck panel thus preventing debris form escaping the work deck area.
