Safety glass is glass that shatters quite easily, but into tiny cubes which don't cause more bodily injury than superficial abrasions. It is used mainly in the auto industry, and in some home glazing. Hardened glass is special glass, laminated with plastic so that when it breaks it remains in one piece. Hardened glass is used in car windscreens.
