Protective Gear Every Painter Needs: Safety and Comfort at Work

Essential Protective Gear for Painters in Australia

Painting may not seem hazardous at first glance, but professionals know that the job comes with a unique set of risks—ranging from harmful fumes and chemical exposure to slips and prolonged standing. That’s why investing in high-quality PPE for painting is not only smart—it’s essential.

At Tradey’s, we provide purpose-built painter workwear and protective gear tailored to keep painting professionals safe, comfortable and compliant from the first coat to the final touch.

Protective Gear for Painter in QLD

Must-Have Protective Equipment for Painters

  • Respirators

Long hours spent working with solvent-based paints and sprays can expose painters to airborne toxins. A well-fitted respirator filters out harmful particles, reducing the risk of respiratory issues and ensuring safe breathing throughout the job.

  • Safety Goggles

Protecting your eyes is crucial when working with splattering paints and sanding surfaces. Tradey’s safety goggles are anti-fog, shatter-resistant and designed for prolonged wear without discomfort.

  • Chemical-Resistant Gloves

Avoid painful skin reactions and long-term damage by wearing chemical resistant gloves that provide a barrier between your hands and harmful substances like turpentine, lacquer or thinners. Our gloves are both durable and dexterous.

  • Coveralls

Paint can ruin clothing quickly, and cheap overalls don’t last. Our painter-specific coveralls are lightweight, breathable workwear options that offer full-body protection while keeping you cool on the job.

  • Slip-Resistant Footwear

When you’re moving between ladders, drop sheets and wet surfaces, traction is everything. Our work shoes offer ankle support and grip to reduce slip risk.

  • Knee Pads for Painting

Kneeling for long periods can take a toll on your joints. Tradey’s offers ergonomic knee pads for painting, giving painters the cushion and support needed for comfort and joint protection.

  • Hearing Protection

Spray guns and industrial tools can reach damaging decibel levels. Our earplugs and earmuffs keep noise at safe levels while allowing for communication with team members.

Why Quality Painter Workwear Makes a Difference

Wearing proper painter workwear isn’t just about compliance—it’s about safety, performance and peace of mind.
