A device for securing safety guards around machinery includes a portable wedge clamp device which is inserted through both the safety guard and the post. The portable wedge clamp device includes a base wedge member and a cooperating drive wedge member. The bullet-shaped end of the drive wedge member is modified to include a groove around which a cable tie is used to prevent the drive wedge member from rattling and from moving and becoming unlocked. Alternatively, the bullet-shaped end of the drive wedge member includes a slot through which the cable tie is secured.
