Yes its safe, but there is no need for it

Hello 😊, Nutritionally, brown rice is recommended for a healthy diet because it contains extra nutrients. Brown rice tends to be a bit more caloric, but it also contains extra protein and fiber that offer these health benefits: Lowers cholesterol. Controls blood sugar levels. Soaking rice opens up the grain's structure, and allows arsenic, which is water soluble, to permeate into the liquid. After you soak the rice, it's important to drain and rinse the grains thoroughly with fresh water, says Meharg, and to cook them with fresh (and arsenic-free) water.

Better to use white rice instead of white one. Until unless you have a medical problem
