Morphology
The meaning 'a set of rules or procedures designed to ensure people's safety' is directly and predictably derived from combining 'safety' (protection from danger) with 'protocol' (formal procedures). This noun+noun composition follows ordinary English compounding and exists cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Safety protocol links safety, meaning keeping people safe, and protocol, meaning a clear plan of steps. Imagine workers who always follow the same short plan, check the tools, put on gloves, then start the machine. So safety protocol means 'a set of rules or procedures' people follow to avoid accidents.
