Engine Certification Requirements are quite clear. All failures must be contained. Blades, vanes and so on.
Discs and possibly shafts are the only components where non contained failures are considered possible. So we make sure that failures do not happen, and we mitigate as far as possible against the effects of such failures.
Major engine rotating parts are the only components on the whole of the aircraft to be considered non fail safe.
