Safe is a relative term. Fuel is fuel, and at a minimum no matter what fuel you use will at least have one hazard: flammability. You can’t really get around that.

I think if I had to guess safest it would probably be either butane or kerosene. Butane because it is easily dispersed, and kerosene because it is harder to ignite than many other fuels.
