WORKSHOP GROUP B<br />
Occupational Diseases<br />
An occupational disease takes years to develop. It’s the result of a career of responding to fires<br />
and chemical spills; it’s the result of breathing toxic smoke and fumes on the job; it is the response<br />
to continuous medical runs or extricating wounded victims at accidents. This workshop will<br />
discuss the toll fire fighting takes on fire fighters' health and will address the screening of fire<br />
fighters for early detection, treatment and prevention, as well as addressing novel risk factors<br />
related to cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease and occupational cancers.<br />
