I would be against using a verbal call in this situation. Players and coaches may only hear the "catch" part of "NO catch". If you yell out "SAFE" before F6 throws the ball, the players may wonder what you're talking about.

Either way...you will probably get some grief, but I think a non-verbal signal is the way to go here.
I don't believe "SAFE" is an appropriate call. The runners and BR are still in jeopardy and a force situation. No one is yet safe.

It is important to be and I am quite clear. Two words, "NO" & "CATCH".
