Safety consists of exercising rules of safety to stay safe and to not be harmed; free from infliction etc... Security is having a feeling of safety; precautions to keep something safe, keeping something from being stolen etc...
I Used: Google.com's define query.
ex: on google (www.google.com) type: define:word (in the search box)
define:safety
you get:
* the state of being certain that adverse effects will not be caused by some agent under defined conditions; "insure the safety of the children
define:security
you get:
* the state of being free from danger or injury; "we support the armed services in the name of national security"
so: from what I understand, you are "safe" in a place that is "secure".
But I encourage you go try the google queries for yourself as there are many more definitions to those 2 words.

Safety is rather protection against accidental events; security is rather protection against intentional damages. Examples: 1) In the case of a hurricane a place is safe because nothing can happen to you there; in the case of a bank the place is secure because it is protected against unautorizad access. 2) A path can be safe because there is no risk of landslides, etc.; a path in Afghanistan can be secured because there is enough military surveillance protecting you from an ambush 3) Safety First! (this means that you have to make sure no accidents can happen). Security First (this means you have to make sure no ill-intentioned action ca occur
