Is organic produce safer?

I've heard a lot of conflicting rumors about organic food, specifically produce. I've heard that traditional food is dangerous because of pesticide residues, but I've also heard that plants produce so many pesticide chemicals on their own that added pesticides are negligible. However, I haven't found any data to support either of those claims. Are there studies showing whether or not organic produce is safer?
