Password safe encryption strength

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this or not but we use a program called "Password Safe" to store the many root passwords we have for our Unix system.

Now we are being called out by our security team to prove that this is a safe program to use. So far I have been able to determine that this program uses the Blowfish encryption algorithm but cannot determine the strength of the encrytpion. All I have found is that Blowfish uses a 64-bit block cipher and has a variable key length of 32 bits to 448 bits. Does anyone know what strength Password Safe is using?
