Dear Sir/Madam:

Good question, and good forethought. You would be wise to have in writing that the painter holds you harmless for any and all injuries he may sustain while performing the job. Both you and he should sign this argeement. Also make clear in the agreement that he/she is an independent contractor, and not an employee of yours.

Good luck.
