DECON national database

Conference applauds the success of the work already carried out as part of the DECON project.

Conference also recognises firefighters in the UK face a postcode lottery of engagement with the project.

Conference notes control measures to minimise exposure to carcinogens vary from service to service where they even exist at all, and progress is rarely shared or replicated between services.

Conference therefore instructs the Executive Council to produce a database or similar information technology solution to regularly capture the progress made in each service with regards to the DECON project and make the information available to all Fire Brigades Union Officials.

This work should begin as soon as practicable and progress must be reported back to Conference 2024.
