The phrase "safe and sound" is usually used when we talk about the end of a trip: e.g., We arrived home safe and sound.
Sound is a noun, verb, and adjective.
In the phrase "safe and sound" sound is an adjective and it means: "healthy, in good condition, free from injury, no damage, no accidents."
The adjective 'sound' also has other similar uses:

if you are safe and sound, you are not harmed in any way, although you were in a dangerous situation.
