Unless labelled "safety glass", it's impossible to tell by looking at it whether glass is standard or "safety". However, when attempting to score and cut safety glass, the scoring tool will not easily penetrate the surface, and the score line will be shallow and intermittent. Attemting to snap the glass on the score line will result in the entire pane shattering into small cubes.
