If you really need something thats plum, square and has clean corners using a table saw properly can really make that easy.
As far as the topic goes I'd say the safety lesson here is use a push stick to make sure that both cuts are clear of the saw before you change your focus to anything else (even if it's to turn the saw off).

Radial-arm saw and stop block? Shoot the wood past the stop block, then flip board on its edge, and gently pull back and slide into stop block, then lay board flat. It's accurate.
