Known Risk Factors In Firefighters Work
It has long been established that there is a connection between the firefighting profession and the risk of suffering from serious illness.In 2007, WHO (the World Health Organisation) established the connection between the firefighting profession and various forms of cancer (testicular cancer, prostate cancer and cancer of the lymphatic system).
According to research, the health risks entailed by firefighters’ work situation not only lead to cancer, but other health problems such as fertility disorders, cardiovascular diseases, asthma and allergies.
- The firefighting profession involves both evident and hidden exposure to hazardous substances in various forms.
- Firefighters often work in shifts with irregular hours and thereby irregular stress patterns.
- Firefighters expose themselves to extremely hard physical strain and thermal stresses for short periods.
- Being a firefighter is associated with an identity rather than a profession, which leads to long employment. This in turn lays the foundation for occupational illness.
