  It's no more or less safe than running it on a single disk.

  (Which is to say: The filesystem is already damaged.  You've
probabbly already lost data.  CHKDSK will almost certainly fix the
errors on the filesystem.  It's theoretically possible for CHKDSK to
make things worse, although in practice that is exceedingly rare.
Backups are always a good idea.  This product is sold by weight, not
be volume.  Void where prohibited.  Be kind to animals.  Brush after
every meal.)
