Claim:
1. A safety device for a lockable receptacle, said lockable receptacle including a top wall, a bottom wall, two side walls, a rear wall and a door, said safety device comprising: a base member attachable to said lockable receptacle; an arm member having a proximal end and a distal end wherein said proximal end is attached to said base member; and a wedge member attached to said arm member, wherein said wedge member is not attached to said proximal end of said arm member, wherein said safety device is arranged and configured such that when said base member is attached to said top wall and said door is in a closed position, after opening said door, gravity forces said wedge member to pivot downwardly such that said wedge member becomes positioned between said open door and said top wall of said lockable receptacle, thereby preventing closure of said door on a user's body part positioned between said door and said lockable receptacle.
