What are you safe from ? Anzen is generic for safe or secure, that doesn't make it the best for all situations.

That's a little light and casual for some situations, though. You really cannot do it well without context. Last edited: 4 Jun 2010

You can say, shinpai shinai hou ga ii... mou anzen desukara... This is quite formal, more along the lines "You shouldn't worry, You're secure now" like a police officer comforting somebody... shinpai shinaide, mou daijyoubu dakara.. Is a little more teenager-ish, like "Its all good now, you're all right now" like a friend comforting another friend...
