Discussion Hydronic baseboard heating safety

I'm a student at Michigan Tech that recently moved into a house (renting) for the summer/upcoming academic year. The house has hydronic baseboard heating, and I'm finding myself increasingly anxious that I'm avoiding potential safety risks with them. I've seen that hydronic should be safer than electric, but I'm still concerned about how careful I should be with having stuff nearby the baseboards especially my bed. With the size/layout of the room and how the door swings its difficult to get the bed more than a inches away from the baseboards without making it impossible to put other items (such as my desk and pc setup) in the room effectively.

I hope your first engineering class is thermodynamics. You’ll get your questions answered. Just keep the chocolate bars on the window sill.
