I am a great hypocrite in the area of safety advice, but I am sure that you are going to get a ton of good advice concerning proper equipment.
However, my number one suggestion would be to insure good ventilation. Keeping the air clear is going to cover you on a lot of stuff, especially the stuff that you can't see (carbon monoxide, etc.).
A window and a breeze, or a good fan, can go a long way in staying safe.
