I would appreciate some input on the sentence below. As far as I can tell from checking online, the book does not contain a set of safety strategies. It does, however, include strategies for losing weight that are safe to follow. Thoughts?

"This book takes a deep dive into safety strategies for weight loss and the nine phases of weight loss."

It should be safe strategies as the strategies are safe, not strategies about safety.

You can say "drive safely" or "drive safe" when referring to driving. " Safely is recognizable as an adverb since it ends in -ly. Safe is also correct because it is technically a flat adverb, which is an adverb that has the same form as its related adjective.
