If you are referring to the position, a safety is the approximate equivalent to the free safety position in American football. (The strong safety position is replaced by two "halfbacks", since there are 12 men to a side in Canadian football.) In scoring a safety is the same thing as in American football. If a player is tackled within his own end zone or steps out of the back of his own end zone the opposing team is awarded two points for a "safety" and the tackled player's team is then required to kick the ball off to their opponents.

What is 2 point safety in CFL?

In the Canadian Football League (CFL), a 2-point safety occurs when a team scores two points by forcing the opposing team to concede a safety. This typically happens when a team is backed up in their own end zone and is unable to advance the ball, resulting in a safety on a play such as a missed snap or a player being tackled in their own end zone. Unlike the more common 1-point safety, the 2-point safety is a rare occurrence in the game.


Are their risks from CFL bulbs?

Compact fluorescent (CFL) bulbs contain mercury which can present a safety issue if the glass breaks. The broken glass also presents a safety hazard more immediate than mercury. Some CFL bulbs, when operating, generate electromagnetic waves and inject interfering electronic signals into the home power line which can mess up electronic devices and interfere with cordless phones, wifi and radio reception.
