Maybe I should have said in "the engineering environment" in that anyone could make the suggestion for an improvement to a piece of engineering equipment but its fulfilment would be by an engineering solution, as in your case, too.
I invented a personal FOD box when I was a Techie in the early 80's. It fitted in to a usual tool tray but any locking wire or masking tape or loose articles could be dropped into a one-way slot in the top rather than it all being loose in the tool tray and then blow across the ASP. When back in the Line, the close-fitting top would be removed and the contents safely disposed of. I put in a lot of work, building prototypes in aluminium, but it was never taken on.
