Greg, since you are from Ohio, I would recommend that you contact the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation and avail yourself of their free safety consulting services. Their industrial safety consultants can provide you with hazard assessment and control assistance. They should be able to provide you with a method for your task that is safe, practical, and OSHA compliant. You can contact them at ohiobwc.com.
