A safety plug assembly, comprising:

• a connector comprising a central axis and a receptacle disposed on a first side of the central axis, wherein the connector is configured to be inserted behind a front plate of an electrical outlet such that an outlet connector of the electrical outlet is received within the receptacle along a radial direction with respect to the central axis;
• an arm extending from the connector on a second side of the central axis that is opposite the first side;
• and
• a safety plug coupled to the arm, wherein the safety plug includes a plug member that is configured to be inserted within a contact opening of the outlet connector.

A method, comprising:

• (a) loosening a mounting screw extending through the front plate of an electrical outlet that is installed along a surface such that the front plate is not fully removed from the electrical outlet;
• (b) inserting a connector of a safety plug assembly between the surface and the front plate after (a);
• (c) receiving an outlet connector of an electrical outlet into receptacle of the connector during (b);
• (d) tightening the mounting screw of the front plate;
• (e) compressing the connector with the front plate during (d);
• and
