It is safe as long as both switches are in the hot side of the power so that the safety ground is always connected to the lamp frame if it is metal. The neutral or ground should not have a switch in it.
If you are referring to a two way switch setup with switches on opposite sides of a room controlling a single lamp or outlet, there is no safety problem with those as long as they are wired according to code.
What else can I help you with?
How can you connect a lamp to the power supply in such way so that the the lamp may be turned on and off independently by any of the three switches?
You can achieve this by using a three-way switch setup. Connect the power supply to the common terminal of the first switch, the lamp to the common terminal of the third switch, and the traveler terminals of the three switches in a loop. This way, you can turn the lamp on and off independently from any of the three switches.
Why is a switch useful to a table lamp?
Without a switch being incorporated into the lamp the only way to turn it off is to unplug it. At times this can be inconvenient because the receptacle it is plugged into is not in a readily accessible position. The lamp is always in a convenient position so hence the switches position can be readily accessed.
What appliance uses the larger current a toaster or a table lamp?
A toaster typically uses a larger current than a table lamp because it generates heat to toast bread quickly, requiring more energy. Table lamps are designed for illumination and usually consume less power.
Can you use a 120V table lamp on a 227v line?
The answer is possibly. There is no guarantee that the insulation designed for the lower voltage will be adequate at the higher voltage. The danger of electric shock should not be scorned. The cost of a new lamp is not daunting, and if the lamp is an heirloom item, then that value should enable the wiring and switches be upgraded. Don't take chances.
How does a table lamp differ from a bedside lamp?

What is a lamp board?

Draw a connection diagram that can be used to turn on and off a lamp independently by spst?
To control a lamp independently using a Single Pole Single Throw (SPST) switch, connect one terminal of the switch to the live wire from the power source and the other terminal to the lamp's live input. The neutral wire from the power source should be directly connected to the lamp's neutral input. When the SPST switch is in the "on" position, it completes the circuit, allowing current to flow to the lamp and turn it on; when in the "off" position, it breaks the circuit, turning the lamp off.
Do dimmer switches save energy?
no i think the same amount of power is needed to push through the variable resistor in the dimmer switch coil.

First used to power a single arc lamp in Northampton, England in 1878.
