I would get a coach if you can (if you meant powerlifting to be competing)

Start with form. I’ve seen a lot of people jump into it and get hurt and not see good results because they fail to put form before weight. Also invest in a good belt, knee sleeves, and good powerlifting shoes because your body will thank you

Any advice on how to make sure form is correct?

Watching videos, video yourself if possible to compare so you can see what looks right and what does it, you’ll usually feel it if you are doing it wrong. Take a second to get into stance, for most lifts your legs should be either hip or shoulder width depending on exercise and make sure you are using your legs and not your back
