Abstract
A safety shield is provided for use with an electrical plug engaged in a wall socket, the plug having two or more prongs extending from a plug body. The shield comprises a plate formed of an electrically insulating material, with two or more openings defined in the plate in alignment with the two or more prongs of the electrical plug, each opening sized for a snug fit with a corresponding prong. The plate defines a perimeter area around the two or more openings that is at least five times greater than a planar area bounded by the two or more openings.
