Abstract
A fluid-tight carrier () is disclosed which has main latches (and). Each main latch has a safety latch () which secures the main latches within the latched position until an operator deflects the safety latch () away from the slidable catch () to permit the main latch to be moved to the unlatched position. This prevents inadvertent opening of the carrier due to impact on the carrier. The carrier can be formed of anti-microbial material, have removable wear strips and includes an ergonomic design.
