-able: This suffix indicates the ability to be something.

* Safe + able = "Safeable" (though this word isn't commonly used).

-ty: This suffix is often used to create words related to safety, but it doesn't always directly translate to "safe."

The best suffix to use will depend on the context and the specific meaning you want to convey.
