That is definetly not safe. A 600 calorie intake will kill you. Safe weight loss is a healthy diet that reduces your calorie intake by 500-600 a day. For women daily calorie intake should be around 2000. For men it is closer to 2500 a day. DO NOT restrict yourself to 600 calories a day please. However, even if you did, your body would put you into starvation mode because of such a low intake and hold onto your body fat longer than it would normally.

No it is not safe. Your body needs calories to live off of. However if you still wish to go that route and you think you can deal with the pain then I suggest doing it for no more then a month. You will drop around 14 pounds in a month just from 500 calories a day. Then I suggest moving up to 1100 calories. You are still cutting back on what you are taking in but 500 calories a day for too long can hurt you.
