Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'safety' identifies the goal (protection/reduction of risk) and 'blitz' denotes a short, intensive campaign, so together they transparently mean an intensive campaign aimed at improving safety. This noun+noun pattern is common and cross-linguistically accessible (learners who know the basic 'safety' sense will readily infer the MWE), despite 'safety' having a specialized football sense in the provided word list.
Etymology
The phrase safety blitz is used for a short, strong campaign to make places or rules safer. It combines safety (what you want to protect) and blitz (a fast, heavy push), so it means a quick, concentrated effort to improve safety.
