Not if you stand out of the bad guys' sight range and aim it right in front of them. If your Tank is up there duking it out with them, of course he's going to get fried by it. Only use party-friendly spells, like Sleep and Horror, in that situation. (Unless your Tank has really good Saving Throws, in which case you can also use things like Stinking Cloud.)
