Insulator (Heat & Frost / Asbestos Worker) prevailing wage, Benton County group, Missouri (2 counties)

DLS sets the same insulator rates, row for row, in 2 counties: Benton and Wayne. Every figure on this page applies in each of them.

$22.76an hour, fringe benefits included · Asbestos Worker

One rate, fringe benefits included (DLS prints no split) · Contracting minimum (*)

On Missouri public works in each of these 2 counties, an insulator working as asbestos worker must be paid at least $22.76 an hour. DLS prints one rate with fringe benefits included, so there is no separate base wage.

Annual Wage Order 33 (final May 29, 2026), effective May 29, 2026. The rates attached to the call for bids "shall remain in effect for the duration of that particular contract" (RSMo 290.250). Checked against labor.mo.gov on October 25, 2026.

One rate, fringe benefits included: $22.76

DLS publishes a single hourly figure that already includes fringe benefits. A contractor can pay it all as wages, or pay part as contributions to bona fide benefit plans for the worker, as long as the two add up to at least $22.76. DLS doesn't publish a base and fringe split, so this page doesn't invent one.

Davis-Bacon insulator rates in these counties

The counties share DLS's rates, but not always the same federal wage determination. When a contract requires both the state rate and the Davis-Bacon rate, paying the higher of the two meets both. The contract documents say which apply.

Are you being paid this rate?

Missouri's rate includes fringe benefits, so add your wage to what your employer pays into benefit plans for you and compare it with the rate. Contractors post the rates on site; the contractor forfeits $100 per worker per day of underpayment, and you can sue for double the difference (RSMo 290.250, 290.300). DLS Wage and Hour: 573-751-3403.
