In general, lifting weights is a safe activity. Unlike, say, contact sports like hockey or football or dangerous sports like horseback riding, if you warm up properly and use proper exercise technique the only injuries you may suffer are minor.

Nevertheless, it is possible to hurt yourself training alone (in other words, without a spotter) at home. In fact, if you blackout during a bench press you could even kill yourself. That happens on average several times a year in North America and Europe. Still, if you breathe properly and you are using a properly set power rack, that kind of injury cannot happen. Therefore, it is healthy and not dangerous to lift weights at home IF you are lifting properly.
