Propane grills are exceptionally safe unless they leak. The key is to close the valve at the tank. The tank's valve is certified by stamp placed on the tank. It must be recertified as leak proof after 12 years.

Fun fact: In other countries small propane tanks are kept inside the kitchen, below the range top. While arguably those countries have fewer consumer protection laws, there would be a natural process of people demanding that this practice end it was patently unsafe.
