Pointers for the workers (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hands

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'pointers' is the first definition.
(hand is a kind of pointer)

'the workers' is the second definition.
(hand is a kind of worker)

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for hands that I've seen before include "Workmen" , "Units for measuring horse's height" , "Crew members" , "Passes" , "Measurements for horses" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
