This corresponds to my understanding of the Latin grammar.

cavendo - by being careful
(from caveo, to be on one\'s guard)

tutus - safe, protected
(from tueor, to defend / protect / guard etc.)

\"safety through caution\" is a neat way of putting it in English.

You can at least find my reference on a Google search, but the website doesn\'t seem to be in action yet.

Further information on the motto can be found on

and elsewhere.
\"Secure by caution\" is another English version.

Good luck!
