An electrical wall plug outlet enclosure and safety device wherein a face plate is detachably mounted to the wall over the electrical wall plug outlet and in turn a generally rectangular but tapered cover is detachably mounted to the face plate to prevent touching of an inserted electrical plug and to prevent the insertion of an object, especially a metal object, into the electrical outlet when a plug is not inserted. The cover further has openings at one end for passage of an electrical cord or cords attached at one end to an electrical plug and at its other end to an electrical appliance. The face plate has slots formed in or near its vertical edges for engagement with flanges formed on opposite sides of the box-like cover to detachably secure the box-like cover to the face plate. To detach or uncouple the cover from the face plate one finger of each hand presses or pulls up on finger holes formed on each longitudinal side of the cover while at the same time the thumb of each hand presses down on the top of the cover therefore causing the sides of the cover to flex outward and release the flanges from the slots and thereby exposing the electrical plug outlet. In the preferred embodiment the face plate has a rectangular frame attached to its front face and the flange engaging slots are formed in its vertical sides.
