Firefighters! Document occupational cancer risk. now, even if there is no illness at this time. Fill out a Workers Compensation form and put it in your personnel file through Human Resources to protect future medical or Line of Duty Death benefits. Lt. and Fire Inspector Christopher Wyman of NH gives details.
Amy Colton, National Sales Manager for OneTest, believes early screenings saved her own life, and said, "Firefighters are at a 72% higher chance of dying from cancer than they are from dying in a fire. It seems kind of crazy that they're not regularly screening for cancer in a meaningful manner." -
