Cancer Prevention Checklist
Feb 09, 2024

The Section 21 Committee, with the assistance of the Ministry of Labour Facilitator, has developed a Cancer Prevention Checklist that is intended to be used by fire departments as a self-audit tool.  This checklist is, in the opinion of the committee, a comprehensive, well-writtena dn valuable tool that can be used by fire departments to assess their own hygiene and decontamination program and identify potential gaps and areas for improvement.

The Ministry of Labour (MOL) has developed a new "Firefighter Hygiene and Decontamination Investigation Protocol", which is an internal document that the MOL developed to assist their inspectors with investigating firefighter occupational diseases. 

The Cancer Prevention Checklist is intended to be used by fire departments to self-evaluate various facets of their firefighter hygiene and decontamination programs including, but not limited to, field decontamination, handling and transportation of contaminated equipment, in-station decontamination and cleaning, PPE utilization, bunker gear washing and drying procedures, post=fire shower and hygiene procedures and administrative support (policies, operating guidelines, etc.) of all fire activities.
