Safety, or the state of being safe, was the condition of being protected from harm, injury, or other danger and the reduction of risk.
In 2364, Doctor Beverly Crusher told her son Wesley Crusher that she'd like him to stay in their quarters until the polywater intoxication problem aboard the USS Enterprise-D was solved, just to be safe. Wesley responded "Your wish is my command." (TNG: "The Naked Now")
Upon observation, Chakotay, who believed himself to be the US Army Captain Miller, asked Captain Kathryn Janeway, in 2374, "You're a gung ho kind of girl, aren't ya?" She acknowledged that she was, replying, "I guess when it comes to my people's safety this girl tends to get a little gung ho," to which Chakotay/Miller admitted, "Nothing to apologize for. I'm the same way with my men. There's not a day goes by when I don't think to myself, 'I'm going to get 'em back safely, even if I die trying.'" (VOY: "The Killing Game, Part II")
