Safety with electrics is obviously important , a multimeter can aid with safety but there are some dangers and its important to use the multimeter properly, in the correct setting with the correct test leads.
Here are three biggest safety issues when using a multimeter on electrical systems
1) Having meter in wrong function selection , this will give an eroneous measurement in the video below i test a live electricasl outlet in DC instead of AC and its shows a zero reading.
2) I then show another zero reading with the meter leads not correctly seated.
3) leaving the meter in amps , if you then try to , measure voltage, the voltage will appear on one end of the meter leads.
Please watch then video below for a demonstration of this.
