"X-ray safety screwdriver".

Safety or security? Because the latter translation is the only way this picture makes any sense to me.

You wouldn't need "safety" screwdrivers to work around x-ray equipment. It's not an MRI. But there might be security screws in the radiation source's cover on an x-ray machine that require a special tool to remove.

Some languages may have ambiguous translation for these two words. I wonder if it's the case with Germany.

Yeah, safety == security in German.

It's also like that in my mothertongue.

It says "safety" on the screwdriver in the picture.

I mean it's labeled on the screwdriver in the picture..
