What being a Heat & Frost Insulator is about
Primarily working in commercial and industrial environments, Heat and Frost Insulators use adhesives, staples, tapes, and insulation blowing machines to install the materials that control and maintain the temperature of buildings, heating and cooling systems, boilers, steam lines, and mechanical equipment. They also remove lead and asbestos from old buildings prior to renovation or demolition. Safety and safety training are essential for Heat and Frost Insulators. It can be a hazardous and dangerous job if strict safety precautions aren’t taken, such as keeping the work site well ventilated, wearing protective suits, masks, respirators, and taking decontamination showers.
