What safety measures should be taken to prevent circular saw kickback at the end of a cut?

To prevent circular saw kickback at the end of a cut, it is important to use a riving knife or splitter to keep the kerf open, maintain a firm grip on the saw with both hands, stand to the side of the saw blade, and avoid cutting through knots or other hard materials that can cause the saw to bind. Additionally, using a push stick or push block can help maintain control of the workpiece and reduce the risk of kickback.
