I'm not sure about serious accidents, but there seems to be many airlines with no fatalities in the past 40 years. But perhaps Qantas just stays #1 since it has had no jet-plane crash (and no crash at all since 1951). Or perhaps it's the "Rain man" quote where Dustin Hoffman says Qantas never crashes; that cemented their position as the safest airline in history.
Ryanair certainly seems very safe, but with all those new MAX planes, who knows how long that will last.
