[1] The station name is taken from the nearby Kampung Selamat (English: Safe Village), which lies on the east side of Jalan Sungai Buloh.

Although it was previously a station as part of the MRT Kajang Line, the station is one of three which were transferred to the MRT Putrajaya Line and began operations on 16 June 2022.

The station has three entrances, with Entrance A on the same side of Jalan Sungai Buloh as the station, and Entrances B and C as well as the link bridges to the SqWhere SOVO, a mixed development project by Selangor Dredging Berhad which is currently can be used for public use, and D'sara Sentral developments, a completed mixed development project by the Mah Sing Group, on the other side of Jalan Sungai Buloh from the station and linked via a long pedestrian bridge.

With the opening of the Kajang Line in 2016 and reopening as Putrajaya Line in 2022, feeder buses also began operating linking the station with Kampung Baru Sungai Buloh.

The feeder buses operate from the station's feeder bus hub accessed via Entrance B across Jalan Sungai Buloh from the station via a pedestrian bridge.
