Fire and Rescue Services: Carcinogens
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps his Department is taking to help protect firefighters from carcinogens.
- Answer
-
The health and safety of firefighters is of paramount importance.
Fire and Rescue Authorities are responsible for the health and safety of firefighters and they should be mindful of emerging research.
I have commissioned a literature review of published studies to understand their conclusions and determine next steps and I am engaging with the Department for Health and Social Care to explore these issues.
