Week 1:

Best Practices to Reduce Cancer at the Fire Station

Week 1: Best Practices to Reduce Cancer at the Fire Station

The first week of the Fire Fighter Cancer Awareness Month addresses how to reduce the risk of exposure to carcinogens through best practices around station design of hot, warm/transition, and cold zones to reduce the migration of carcinogens from contaminated areas like the apparatus bay to clean zones such as kitchens and sleeping quarters. If station design is not an option, we also highlight ways to reduce exposure through personal efforts and modifiable risk factors.
To get the most from this week, we recommend taking one day this week to conduct a Safety Stand Down.
All resources are also available to review at your convenience.
