The disconnect device includes a body adapted to be mounted relative to the kit, with the body including a recess, in accordance with one embodiment, adapted to enclose a portion of the kit therein, and a support assembly extending outwardly from the body and including a cavity adapted to receive an end of the harness therein. A locking device is provided and adapted to extend through the support assembly and the end of the harness to provide securement of the harness to the kit so as to obtain removal of the harness from the disconnect device for replacement thereof when the locking devise is disengaged such that the lid may remain secured to the container when the harness is replaced.

An anti-rotation assembly is provided and adapted to be secured to the kit in fixed spaced relationship to the body for retaining the strap of the harness, and a securing unit for removing the anti-rotation assembly so as to permit removal of the strap when replacement of the harness is desired is also provided.
