Rules preventing harm

A safety code is a set of regulations designed to prevent injury or harm in specific contexts—building codes govern construction standards, fire codes address emergency prevention, electrical codes ensure wiring safety.

The term also applies to numeric passwords used to secure access: Enter your safety code to disarm the alarm.

Unlike broader legal codes, safety codes focus specifically on protecting people and property from physical danger.
