All of the above tips and ideas are great, as an adult woodshop teacher here is a hand out I give to y new students, it is mostly focused on tools and equipment but also has some basics re safety. Because I'm a teacher I would suggest you find a local woodworking program at your community college, woodworking club or a friend or family member to mentor you. that can give you some insight on the safe use of tools and equipment. I agree that a lot can be learned by reading books, magazines and watching woodworking videos but you have to gain enough knowledge about the basics because many of the YouTube videos are made by people who really don't know what there doing. If you're going to watch Videos I would suggest people like Charles Neil, Phil lowe, The Wood Whisperer , Woodsmith , Steve Ramsey. All said and done most of us learn by doing, so start with a basic project and then another and another project, sure your projects will not be perfect but you are learning as you go. Most of all have fun and be safe

Safety
Use Safety glasses, hearing protection, dust mask/protection.
Beware of jewelry or lose clothing that can get caught on machinery, keep focus when using woodworking tools and don't distract others.
Never use machines you haven't used before without the instructor.
Focus on changes in the sound of the machinery your using for possible problems. Position yourself in the safest position to operate the machine you're working on to maintain balance and avoid possible kickbacks. Be aware of obstacles like wood or sawdust on the floor or other tripping hazards.
