The contacts? You mean the screws that hold the wires to the outlet?

I have never ever seen this done, and can't picture a way to do it other than wrapping tape round and round the whole outlet, which would look incredibly sloppy.

Unless I'm picturing this wrong?
Manyayna isn't a craftsman or a competent tradesman - certainly not
an electrician.. If his workmanship is so sloppy that the wires on a
switch or outlet can contact the box, and if he leaves plates off of
outlets or switches, or in any other way leaces the connections
accessible to "kids" he should keep his paws off of anything
electrical and hire an electriciam.
