Some acids are not dangerous because they aren't strong acids. The strength of an acid/base is measured on the pH scale. The closer to 7 the weaker. Under 7, is an acid and above 7 is a base. If something has a pH of 1 then it is a dangerous acid, while acid with a pH of 6.5 are not dangerous for example.
