Lubumbashi is pretty safe. nothing different from most cities I guess. As for health issues, your main worries would be mosquitoes and malaria. There are preventive pills you can take every few months just in case. Check with your local doctor.
As for the cost of life, It all depends. Are accommodation and transport provided? With your salary you should be able to make it especially if you're not a big spender.
