Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Your Safety Comes First
Working with paints, coatings, solvents and aerosols can expose you to hazardous chemicals, dusts and vapours. Whether you're a professional tradesperson or a DIY user, using the correct Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and following safe work practices is essential.
Protecting yourself doesn't just reduce the risk of injury—it also helps ensure a safer, healthier working environment.
Essential PPE
We recommend using appropriate PPE whenever handling paints and associated products, including:
-
Respiratory protection suitable for paint vapours and particulates.
-
Chemical-resistant nitrile gloves.
-
Safety glasses or sealed chemical splash goggles.
-
Protective coveralls or suitable work clothing.
-
Safety footwear.
-
Hearing protection when operating noisy equipment.
Always ensure your PPE is clean, in good condition and suitable for the task being performed.
We strongly recommend reading the SDS before using any product. If you cannot locate an SDS, our team can assist you.
Product Advice
Different paints and coatings have different safety requirements. Two-pack (2K) products, solvents, industrial coatings and aerosol products may require specialised respiratory protection and additional precautions.
If you're unsure which PPE is suitable for your application, contact our knowledgeable team. We're happy to recommend the correct safety equipment to help you work safely and achieve the best possible results.
