Mechanical insulation is a construction trade where skilled workers, called "mechanical insulators," install insulating materials on pipes, ductwork, and other mechanical equipment in buildings to control temperature, reduce energy loss, prevent condensation, and minimize noise, typically working both indoors and outdoors on commercial and industrial projects; this often involves reading blueprints, measuring and cutting insulation to fit, and securing it in place using various methods like adhesives, staples, or straps.
Students will be required to have access to a computer or tablet device with a working camera and microphone. Additionally, all students will need to have access to a reliable internet source when classes begin.

The first-year Mechanical Insulator course equips students with the foundational knowledge, technical skills, and safety certifications necessary for a successful career in the mechanical insulation industry. Combining classroom instruction with hands-on lab sessions, this course will cover essential topics such as safety protocols, tool usage, material handling, and introductory insulation techniques across commercial, industrial, marine, and refrigeration applications. Students also receive training in professional development areas like communication, financial literacy, and career preparation.
A strong emphasis is placed on safety, with certifications including OSHA 10, CPR/First Aid, fall protection, and scaffold user training. Additional training addresses hazardous material awareness, respirator use, and heat stress management, ensuring students are well-prepared to work safely in various environments. Practical workshops build proficiency in hand and power tools, insulation fabrication, and removal, reinforcing classroom learning with real-world application.
By integrating safety, skill development, and industry-specific knowledge, students are prepared for further training and to meet the demands of the mechanical insulation field with confidence and competence. Schedule for lab dates will be handed out the first night of class each quarter. Emphasis on safe work processes will be stressed throughout the class.
Books: All textbooks will be provided to students on the 1st night of class.
