Large Panel Safety

Sheet stock, such as plywood and MDF, typically comes in 4 x 8 sheets.  Because of the large size, there are unique safety considerations that go with handling and working with sheet stock.

weight and size
not a precious material - ergonomics - push w feet, pivot w boot and drag, buddy system
balance
divide and conquer - dimension / cut down on vertical saw first, rip on table saw, cut down on panel saw
push from end of stock ( no friction on surface /hard to grip)
cup face down (not working on a pivot point) - mark the concave side - x face down.
