From what I've seen Episerver uses two mechanisms to achieve thread-safety:

Locking (when initializing expensive resources)
Immutable data (when passing page data around)

I also like how EPiServer handles database deadlocks – LukeP Jul 25 '12 at 17:35

thread safe is a nebulous concept. In this particular case, if you are sharing data between different requests, it is not. Otherwise by the nature of web requests it is.

Yes, per definition it is thread safe because it runs under a web service that uses threads to execute (so it has to be thread safe otherwise it is a bug, and there has been o few of those bugs – but no one reported for CMS R2 what I can see in the bug list).
