SPOR understands Safety as an Archetype, https://safetyrisk.net/understanding-safety-as-an-archetype/ and an outcome.
It is an important distinction, as we often see practioners trying to personify themselves as Safety.

Social Psychology of Risk (SPoR) understands Safety as an outcome because it is the result of how one tackles risk.
Because you received a good result today, doesn’t mean that future outcomes will mimic the original results.
Humans are the variable that is ignored by Safety. Safety as an industry sees humans most often as a factor in a System. The real challenge is ensuring that systems serve persons and not persons who serve systems. This is the starting point to humanising the method one uses to tackle risk.
What worked today may be ineffective tomorrow. Just ask Boeing about the 737 Max 9.
