If it's in a safe area you don't need a spark proof fan. Standard motor construction is OK.

There are various types of hazardous area motors, depending on the zone they're rated for, Zone 0 being the most hazardous. I would speak to a motor supplier.

But nowadays most motor fans and fan guards are made of plastic (for cost) so are inherently non-sparking. If you buy one those it should be OK. But get client to confirm he's happy with it.
