Schuko plug (very safe since the earth/ground is always engaged first) or Europlug (relatively safe because it is only allowed for low class power appliances)

the problem is that they don't have contact covers.
What I like about the British plug is that its closed most of the time, and really really difficult to put stuff in the live/neutral. That has advantages for safety, but also cleanliness. It cuts down dust ingress.
- f1refly 5y agoThey can have contact covers no problem, it's just not in the plug standard. Every couple with kids I know installed socket safety protectors[0] in their power outlets if they wheren't int there already. Some built in ones just require to push the plug in a bit harder, but for even better safety turning ones as in the amazon link are available.
