This is correct. Nobody has ever gotten injured with deads, bench and squat... stick to those!
Get a neck harness (unless you are fortunate to have access to a 4-way device, way easier to use than to put a towel and plates on your forehead like a crazy momo) and treat it like anything else, learn the proper movement and then progressively go heavier and make it a regular part of your routine. People deadlift 500lbs, putting their spine at huge risk, yet are afraid to do neck work with more than a 10lb plate, makes no sense to me.

I occasionally train neck to prevent injuries in rugby (Aussie version of grid iron) and whip lash from punches or cars.
The idea is keep it light and go 15-20 reps without too much trouble.
Grab 2-10kg (start lower) and lie back down on a bench with your head+neck sticking off the bench (enough to bend you head down 90 degrees - like you are looking upside down).
Hold the weight on your head and slowly move your head down, and then up - so your face parallel the floor. Do this lying chest down as well. 2-3 sets of each. Lighter is better.
Warning: You will look like an absolute tool if you do this in a public gym but screw the h8ers.
