PAINT TECHNICIAN SURVEY
WE HAVEN’T RUN THIS SURVEY SINCE 2016. THE NUMBER OF PAINTERS WHO HAVE RECEIVED TRAINING IN THE LAST TWO YEARS HAS RISEN BUT THE ANSWERS TO THE MOST OF THE QUESTIONS REMAIN AROUND THE SAME IN TERMS OF ATTITUDE, WITH A SLIGHT RISE IN EMPLOYERS PROVIDING SPRAY GUNS. NOZZLE KNOWLEDGE IS A NEW QUESTION WITH JUST OVER HALF OF RESPONDENTS SAYING THEY FULLY UNDERSTAND WHICH IS THE RIGHT NOZZLE IN DIFFERENT CONDITIONS.
