Hi Emmet I cant offer any suggestions for a type of device as you described, but have you looked at why they need to guide the steel with their hands? and what’s the actual issue with them doing so?(cuts/crush??) can the racking be modified to remove the need to guide the steel (smooth flat sides?)? It may also help to describe what type of steel is it, sheet material or lengths etc? If nothing else will do, would a simple glove suffice? (Assuming its a laceration hazard) sorry I couldn’t be of more help, I’m sure someone else will be, Good luck Adam

emmet Since you actually state without qualification, ' mostly comes down to changing the behaviour of some of the operatives', the most relevant 'device' is pencil and paper and whatever lies between the ears of the operatives you wish to influence. All you need to do is to choose the most appropriate words to influence team leaders and senior managers to ensure that words you choose to influence behaviour achieve the desired results. In other words, remind them of safe behaviour, introduce observation processes to record safe behaviour and reward safe behaviour.
