Abstract
A safety ring for a pail to prevent access to the contents of the pail by a small child. The ring is adapted to fit within and interlock with a pail. Preferably the safety ring is assembled with the lid for the pail, but is separable from the lid once the lid has been attached to the pail, whereupon the ring will remain in the pail when the lid is removed to expose the contents of the pail.
