In partnership with the Firefighter Cancer Support Network (FCSN), the IAFF has designated January as Firefighter Cancer Awareness Month to provide fire fighters the necessary tools and guidance to develop life-saving protocols for cancer prevention and to support those with a cancer diagnosis within their departments.
Week 1 of Firefighter Cancer Awareness Month focuses on Best Practices to Reduce Cancer at the Fire Station. This week’s content will address how to reduce the risk of exposure to carcinogens with best practices and through station design recommendations.
To get the most from this first week, we recommend taking just one day of each week to conduct a Safety Stand Down in your department.
Additional resources for this week include:
-FU Cancer Video
-Risk Factor Mitigation Checklist
-Fact sheets
-Educational presentations for your department or station
-Training briefs
And more!
