30mA is not safe, it is a level at which about 90-95% of the population will not die from experiencing.

1 mA Barely perceptible
16 mA Average “let go” threshold
20 mA Difficulty breathing
100 mA Heart “flutter” threshold
2 A Heart stoppage and internal organ damage
15/20 A ADS (average) opens circuit
