National framework on cancers linked to firefighting. : H129-154/2024E-PDF

"This report sets out a Framework to raise awareness of cancers linked to firefighting with the goal of improving access for firefighters to cancer prevention and treatment. The Framework consists of six pillars to support firefighters’ health and safety. Each pillar corresponds to an area of interest identified by firefighters andhighlights potential opportunities for future work, including research, training and education, diagnostic testing, improving research and data collection, sharing information and knowledge, and strengthening standards on health and safety and workers’ compensation. While national in scope, the Framework considers the experiences and realities of Canadian firefighters, whether in Canada or abroad, but does not require specific actions by governments, governing bodies, or other stakeholders. Rather, the Framework presents analysis and opportunities to inspire collective action to better protect firefighters from occupational cancers"--Executive Summary, page 2.
