LOL - yeah, and silver metal shavings can get in your eyes.
Most of the stuff is just common sense - flames are hot, small metal particles are dangerous, don't drink toxic chemicals. I knew about the cadmium because my father is constantly harping about good ventilation in any of the indoor shop ideas I have. According to him, it's not as much of a problem unless you're melting silver.
Two windows in your room would be easy to set up a push-pull ventilation with two fans. Have one fan pull air in, have the other fan pull air out. Stick your shop setup somewhere that will be in that ventilation stream.
