A safety closure for a container which is very difficult or virtually impossible for a child to open but can be easily opened by an adult. The safety closure and container are preferably integrally molded as one piece, and the closure comprises a cap adapted to be secured to the opening of the container by a snap-latch. The cap is released from the container by an inclined ramp on the container adjacent the outer periphery of a rim on the cap. In the method for opening the safety closure, the leading end of the inclined ramp is manually pressed inwardly by a thumb or the like toward the center of the cap and underneath the cap rim. While in this position, the thumb is progressively slid along the container causing the inclined ramp on the container to progressively cam the cap upwardly overcoming the snap-latch and releasing the cap.
