Safe Class SCP's

The Safe class within the SCP Foundation refers to anomalies that can be reliably and consistently contained using currently available protocols, technology, and knowledge. These SCPs are considered to pose a minimal threat to containment integrity when handled properly and do not exhibit unpredictable or spontaneous behavior that would make containment difficult. Safe-class anomalies are typically static or passive in nature, requiring direct interaction or specific conditions to activate their anomalous effects. However, it is crucial to understand that “Safe” does not mean “harmless”—many Safe-class SCPs are fully capable of causing injury, death, or severe disruption if misused, mishandled, or exposed to inappropriate conditions. The classification merely indicates that the Foundation fully understands how the anomaly operates and can control or contain it without requiring extensive oversight or complex containment strategies. Safe-class objects are often used in controlled testing environments or for introductory training, especially for junior researchers, due to their predictable nature. Despite this, personnel are always expected to follow containment procedures with full discipline and respect, as underestimating any anomaly—regardless of class—can lead to catastrophic outcomes.
