Toxins in the workplace

Conference recognises the lack of movement nationally in the drive to tackle toxins in the workplace.

Research internationally has shown that toxins are a link to many workplace cancers and in those countries steps have been taken to overcome these issues. The current research is not recognised by UK Fire and Rescue Service employers, this should be questioned and acted upon.

Conference urges the Executive Council to work with Employers to recognise this research and act upon it in the same way that other international Fire and Rescue Services already have.
