Abstract
A safety cover apparatus for an electrical outlet being secured to the face plate screw. The safety cover comprising a pair of safety plugs and a tether connecting the two safety plugs together. Each plug has a plug face plate and a pair of prongs integrally attached to the plug face plate. The tether has an aperture located halfway between the two safety plugs so the safety cover screw can be used to attach the device to the outlet. The length of the tether allows the safety plug to be folded over the tether as to dispose the tether between the prongs and the prongs in the terminals of an electrical socket. The fold is operative in removing the plug from the socket.
