Significado
Not in any danger.
Contexto cultural
Finland is often cited as the world's safest country. This leads to a cultural phenomenon where 'turvallisuus' is taken for granted in public spaces, but highly discussed in politics. The 'Nordic Model' of the welfare state is designed to provide 'sosiaalinen turvallisuus' (social security) from cradle to grave. Finns are early adopters of technology and place high emphasis on 'tietoturva' (data security). Finnish law is very strict about 'työturvallisuus' (occupational safety). Every worker has the right to a safe environment.
The 'Shelter' Rule
If you can imagine a shelter or a shield around the thing, 'turvallinen' is likely the right word.
Don't call yourself 'turvallinen'
Unless you mean you are a safe person to be around. If you are hiding from a bear, say 'Olen turvassa!'
