Is it safe to install Spybot on a PC with an SSD and Windows 8 OS.
Windows 8 OS,yes,it's listed on the compatibility page as supported. :)

Probably doesn't pertain to you,but Windows 8.1 preview and rtm needs a patch.If you don't have Windows 8.1 don't worry about it,but thought I'd mention it.

Though this was said about Secure Shredder and SSD,though if you had any concerns,you could just not use that part of Spybot:
