hey,

I was wondering if this power supply would be safe to use for my build with a 3060.  
thanks

I would not trust that. It's only rated 80 plus. I would not even dare build a system with anything less than 80+ bronze. That thing is... let's just say what you find in the cheapest of prebuilts at best.

P.S.

Although efficiency rating is not directly correlated to PSU built quality, 80 plus rating is an obvious red flag since for modern PSU to reach 80+ Gold is relatively easy and the price difference between the gold, bronze or even lower on the same PSU capacity is probably not significant like a decade ago, going step way lower (even lower than bronzer rating) is something that shouldn't be done

How about this one?

 

That is something that I would be more likely to trust as a unit with an 80+ Bronze PSU rating is more likely to include decent quality components and the necessary safety measures to keep your system safe.
