WHAT IS AN INSULATOR?
Heat and frost insulators are responsible to work with different materials to prevent the passage of heat, cold, moisture, vapour, sound, and fire. They interpret design specifications to determine what must initially be installed, and also maintain these materials after installation. Sometimes, insulators will lay out and fabricate parts on the job, or be called upon to seal off or remove older insulation and reduce health risks to adjacent workers or the general public. The structures and systems they might be required to work on include: plumbing, air handling, heating, cooling, and refrigeration, piping and pressure vessels, walls, flooring, and ceiling. Insulators must be prepared to work indoors and outdoors, in shifts, and travel between various locations. They are required to work from heights, and in confined spaces.
