Safety is not an issue. Both manufacturers make excellent, safe products, and do all they can (including sharing knowledge) to make them safer still.

They are certified for operation worldwide. They are operated by crew with the highest levels of training possible.

Both manufacturers have had incidents and accidents caused by

1. pilot error
2. design error
3. ATC error
4. etc etc etc

There is NOTHING to compare between them on safety. Would I get on any Boeing or Airbus product? Hell yes, no second thoughts. Given what I do for a living, would I advise someone NOT to operate either? I MAY do - but it would be an economic appraisal based on the sector they wanted to operate.
