Obligatory Barbell Prescription link. Lifting heavy with great form and smart choices is just fine (arguably optimal) as we age. We just gradually lose lee-way to heal our way out of bad choices.
I'm sitting here with a sore shoulder... but it's b/c I sat playing video games in bed too long the other night. My lifting program has been treating me just fine.

Highly recommended..
Have him read The Barbell Prescription it's explicitly meant for strength training for people over 50. Don't listen to the fools in this thread, no one on this sub-reddit is an expert in training the elderly, but the book is written by people that are. Both authors are also easy to get in contact with should he have any questions after.
42 here; like others say, prevent injury. Getting a (good) trainer definitely won’t hurt.
Lower weights, more reps, and what helped me is more recovery time. (So two rest days instead of one).
Maybe have a look at The Barbell Prescription https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06Y4LXFCK/ref=tmm_kin_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=&sr=
