Week 3 of the Fire Fighter Cancer Awareness Month addresses 'Prevention, Education and Best Practices.'
The pertinent IAFF resources are available at www.iaff.org/cancer-awareness-month/#week-3-prevention
Turn knowledge into action. Cancer is a big issue facing the fire service, but you can prevent or limit your exposure to carcinogens. This week addresses best practices that should be followed on the fire ground, at the station and in your personal lives. They include on-scene gross decontamination, clean cab concept and modifiable risk factors.
To get the most from this week, we recommend taking one day this week and conduct a Safety Stand Down. All resources are also available to review at your convenience
