Safety is not the real concern here. The EPA mandates all refrigerant. This means that they only allow a "de minimis" release into the atmosphere. To properly remove refrigerant from a system you need to recover it into an EPA certified recovery tank. Fines for venting a system into the atmosphere go up to 50,000 US dollars.
