Top 10 Must-Have Workwear for Electricians in Australia
When it comes to electrical work, your gear is your first line of defence. From fire risks to falling hazards, electricians face a range of on-the-job dangers daily. Wearing the right electrician workwear isn’t just about meeting compliance—it’s about staying safe, comfortable and ready for anything.
At Tradey’s Browns Plains, we supply high-performance electrician uniforms, insulated gloves, safety boots and more—specially selected to meet Australian safety standards and tackle the tough conditions electricians often work in.

Protecting Against Electrical Hazards with the Right Gear
- Flame-Resistant Clothing
Flame resistant workwear is non-negotiable when working around live wires or high voltage systems. Our range includes FR-rated shirts and trousers designed to shield you from arc flashes and sparks, without compromising comfort. - Insulated Gloves
Designed to prevent electric shock, insulated gloves offer vital protection while ensuring you can maintain a secure grip on tools and materials. Make sure your gloves are voltage-rated and regularly tested. - Safety Boots
Shock-resistant and non-conductive safety boots help you stay grounded. Tradey’s offers boots with anti-slip soles, composite toe caps and electrical hazard protection—essential for high-risk job sites.
Enhancing Comfort and Mobility on the Job
- High-Visibility Vest
A lightweight hi-vis vest keeps you seen and safe in busy or dimly lit environments. Look for vests that meet AS/NZS standards for visibility. - Breathable Work Jacket
Layering for changing conditions? A breathable work jacket provides warmth without overheating—perfect for early starts or night jobs - Knee Pads
Plenty of electrical work happens low to the ground. Knee pads relieve pressure and reduce joint strain, making long hours more manageable. - Tool Belt
Staying efficient means having your tools within reach. Choose an electrician tool belt with padded support and multiple compartments for convenience and balance.
Prioritising Personal Protection
- Protective Eyewear
Flying debris, dust or sparks can cause serious injury. Safety-rated eyewear with anti-fog and scratch-resistant features is essential. - Ear Protection
On noisy job sites, ear protection like earmuffs or plugs reduces the risk of hearing damage. Compact, comfortable options make safety second nature. - Hard Hat
An electrician’s hard hat should offer electrical insulation and impact protection. It’s your best defence against falling objects or accidental contact with exposed wires.
Wearing the right electrician workwear or gears can make all the difference. From flame resistant workwear to insulated gloves, each item in your uniform is there for a reason—protection, performance and peace of mind. At Tradey’s, we pride ourselves
