Swedish term or phrase: säkerhetsnoja
Däremot bör man passa sig för säkerhetsnoja och tro att allting är livsfarligt.

This seems like a typo. Shouldn't it be "Däremot bör man INTE passa sig för säkerhetsNOGA och tro att allting är livsfarligt".

obsession with safety


Explanation:
I think what's intended is:

Däremot bör man passa sig för säkerhetsnoja och för att tro att allting är livsfarligt.

But I could be wrong; does this make sense in your context?
