Make ur SAFETYDETAILS column of the table to hold VARCHAR2(4000) and try reloading the data.

Check data in datafile(csv file) that is getting inserted in SAFETYDETAILS column.  Also, check if you can manually insert a row of data from csv file using conventional method - INSERT statement.

replace
     SAFETYCODE,
with
     SAFETYCODE "SUBSTR(SAFETYCODE, 1, <field length>)",
in your control file to trim the field, where <field length> is safetycode field length as defined in db (6 in your original post).
