ABSTRACT:
A safety web for retaining the lid of a waste drum during opening of the lid. Safety web 10 is adapted to form a secure containment volume 22 that prevents lid 14 from becoming an airborne safety hazard. Safety web 10 includes a belt 20 for securing the safety web to the drum. The ends of belt 20 are secured to a ratcheting turnbuckle 25 that allows adjustment of the length of belt 20. Safety web 10 further includes a plurality of radial straps 30 radially disposed about belt 20. The ends 32 of radial straps 30 are fixedly secured to belt 20. Radial straps 30 are further fixedly secured to each other at a central point 35 defined by the midpoint of each radial strap 30. An annular strap 40 is provided on safety web 10 between belt 20 and central point 35. In order to allow an operator to vent pressure off of the drum with safety web 10 in place on drum 12, a steel elongated pry bar 50 is also provided. Elongated pry bar 50 has a first end 55 adapted for grasping by the operator and a second end 60 adapted to engage the perimetric lip 62 of the drum lid so as to pry the lip 62 of the drum lid 14 upwards. A bend 65 and a short cross-member 70 cooperate to act as a fulcrum.
