Foot retention.
A front break at least.
Some bar tape or grips.

Mount front brake
Use foot retention
Don’t ride faster than you can stop
Practise handling the bike and get used to it
Wear a helmet
Be comfortable on the bike/have a decent bike fit
Don’t ride on the road together with cars, get used to the bike on bike paths first

Ang tips on how to be a beginner on the fixed gear? I’m on free wheel for now as my dad suggests because I’m still a begginer.

Find a cool and quiet spot of flat concrete.
Chuck a chalk circle, a square and a few lines down.
Zone out and get good and just maneuvering around that chalk real slowly, no straps or brakes are needed for that- Road cones in a figure eight or triangle are fun as well.
I am 48, All I see now is younger people wanting to “look” sht hot at something without any grind or effort.
Have fun and be yourself.

Better track crankset will be safer than the cheap city bike one in the picture

I’m still pretty new to all of this, so I get a little confused when I see bikes like this. Is this considered a track bike? And if so, can it also be used as a road bike?
I’ve been wanting to get into fixies and really love the look of bikes like this, but I’m not sure how to approach it. I often see similar bikes listed as “track bikes” on manufacturer websites, and I was under the impression that non-professionals should avoid them because they’re supposed to be really hard to pedal, even though they’re fixed gear.
