Is it safe to have facet injections while on remicade (infliximab)?

Probably: You are at an increased risk of infection overall while on remicade (infliximab). Using a strict sterile technique and wearing a surgical mask as a doctor can decrease this risk substantially but it will not be 0. Talk to your pain physician about it.
