A safety cover for a dual outlet receptacle including a planar peripheral base edge, a central face panel offset laterally from the base edge and integrally jointed thereto by peripheral side panels. The face panel is inclined to define a tapered chamber of approximately maximum depth over one outlet and minimal depth over the second outlet. An elongate aperture is defined through the face panel at a position generally corresponding to the maximum depth of the chamber and is configured to allow passage of the plug in one rotated position thereof and to preclude retraction of the plug upon rotational alignment of the plug for engagement with the corresponding outlet. The second aperture through the face panel is of a size, and so aligned with the second outlet, as to allow for direct engagement of a plug therethrough and into the outlet. Alternatively, the cover can have a chamber of constant depth and both apertures configured to require rotational manipulation of both plugs for passage through the apertures and subsequent rotation for engagement within the aligned receptacle outlets.
