Please ensure common sense is used when working with any kind of GRP materials, always read the relevant data sheets issued with your product.
Catalyst/Hardner..MEKP is an organic peroxide. Although it has a flash point higher than 100 degrees F. and is not considered a flammable liquid, it has a unique fire hazard. If an organic peroxide such as MEKP ignites, it produces its own oxygen which makes it quite difficult to extinguish. Consequently, MEKP should be stored in a cool place away from flammable liquids and away from direct sources of ignition.
After reading the above, as long as common sense prevails Fibreglass materials are very safe to use.
