Context Matters
Use 'safety' in situations describing freedom from danger, not just physical harm but also other forms of risk.

Abstract Idea
'Safety' can represent an idea of protection, which can't always be touched or seen, but is understood.

Perceived Security
Sometimes 'safety' is subjective, based on how protected a person feels, not actual danger.
