Look for a "bug" ... a small logo that's placed in the corner of safety glass to let you know that it really is safety glass (you can see a sample one by looking at the front windshield, which is almost certainly safety glass).
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.
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.

Tempered glass is a type of safety glass. Standard glass is rolled through a special kiln at around 700 degrees c. for between 100 and 400 seconds depending on the type and thickness of the glass. Some glass typed may take longer. This process makes the pane of glass very difficult to break under normal circumstances. If the pane does break it will shatter into thousands of tiny pieces instead of large shards, reducing the risk of serious cuts.

Shoot it, look at the effects to the glass.
Glass is a safety concern, because when glass breaks it forms pieces with extremely sharp edges that can easily cut someone.
Most bookcases offer safety glass on the glass door, you will need to find out from the box if the glass has some form of plaxiglass inside.
