A safety apparatus for fitting to a free end of an elongate member, for example a reinforcing bar, has a sleeve portion defining a receiving space for receiving a free end of the member and providing an opening of the receiving space to allow insertion of the member from a first end of the apparatus, and a covering portion which provides a barrier to prevent passage of the member through a second end of the safety device. The safety apparatus may have a gripping part which is resiliently deformable, so that it is resiliently deformed by insertion of the member so as to securely grip metal member, and so that it returns to substantially its non-deformed shape upon removal of the metal member. The receiving space may be tapered.
