on a right handed gun a trigger guard safety is always disengaged when clicked to the opposing side left side off on right handed guns right on left handed guns. for a top mount safety forwards towards the barrel is off. some bolts have safetys that rotate on the end of the barrel they usually twist downards toward shooting hands for on and upwards for off. and there are hammer safetys half cocked safe full cock to fire. hope this answers. if you have a firearm with out a marking for the off point of the safety take red nail pollish and mark it. The safety is different for rifles, pistols and various types of models. Some are marked so that RED will be showing if it is unsafe. Some automatic pistols have a hammer that cocks when it is ready to FIRE and when the safety is clicked ON, it releases the hammer back down without it contacting the firing pin. Some pistols have a grip safety so that it will not fire if your hand is not gripping it. Some pistols such as Colt .45 will not fire if you are pushing against the end of the barrel. So, it may not----I stress may not----fire if it is in a holster. On an semi-automatic pistol, a device that drops the hammer back into the forward position without firing the gun is a decocker, not a safety. On some models (but not all) the decocker can be USED as a safety. A one stage decocker will not stay down. This feature is available on Sigs, some Berettas, and some other models. The best answer has already been given. Check your owners manual. Safeties aren't the same on every gun.
