The only flea collars on the market that I've found to be both safe and effective are the Seresto collars. The other flea collars at best don't work, or at worst, can cause some pretty toxic reactions. With any of the collars, it's always best to wash your hands well if you touch them. The safety margin for these collars is pretty variable depending on active ingredients and carrier mechanism in the collar. Other good flea treatment/prevention options for cats include topical medications, such as Advantage (available over the counter), or Bravecto or Revolution (prescription-based from your veterinarian).
