What is a Pressurization Safety Valve?
The pressurization relief valves are on the left side of the fuselage and are used to provide protection (for the aircraft) against excessive differential pressures. In this case, they are set to open at a differential pressure of 63.8 KPa (with 66.9 KPa) as a backup. From ATSB Investigation Report on the depressurization of Boeing 747 VH-OJK:


  The relief valves provided protection to the aircraft against excessive differential pressures, with the external latching doors providing a positive indication of valve operation. Aircraft systems documentation
  specified that the valves open at a differential pressure of 63.8 kPa (9.25 psi) to vent the fuselage interior to the ambient atmosphere. An additional relief setting of 66.9 kPa (9.7 psi) acts as a backup.


The same report shows the external blowout doors of the (both) relief valves open, as shown below.



In a related note, there is a negative pressure relief valve to prevent vacuum damage to aircraft during a rapid descent. Usually, this is a spring loaded valve that opens inwards at negative pressure differential.
