The invention provides a safe standard penetration test device and a test method. The standard penetration test device comprises a rack, a rack horizontal movement mechanism, a pilereing hammer, a guide rod, a hammering cushion and a pilereing hammer lifting system, wherein a threaded opening, connected with a feeler lever or drill pipe connected with a penetrometer, is formed in the lower part of the hammering cushion; during the specific test, the standard penetration test device is mounted on a drilling machine gantry, a high-pressure oil pipe is utilized to connect the hydraulic motor of the pilereing hammer lifting system and the telescopic oil cylinder of the rack horizontal movement mechanism with a drilling machine hydraulic source through a valve; when the drilling machine drills to a desired standard penetration test depth, the standard penetrometer is connected onto the drill pipe, the telescopic oil cylinder pushes the rack to move along rack horizontal movement tracks until the guide rod is coaxial with the driving drill pipe of the drilling machine, the drill pipe on the standard penetrometer is enabled to be connected with the hammering cushion, and a power supply is turned on to enable the hammering test to be carried out. According to the safe standard penetration test device and the test method, the structure is simple, the automatic penetration is realized, the practicability is high, the testing speed is high, the safety risks are reduced greatly, and the testing reliability is improved.
