Firefighters need to be protected.
Firefighters need to be protected from occupational diseases. Healthy Firefighters shows why, how and what can be done.
Clean and protective clothing
Firefighters should be able to start their shift in full, clean protective clothing and be able to protect their airways and skin in all situations. There should also be the facility of the cleaning of protective clothing and other equipment by machine every time they have been contaminated. Routines that separate contaminated from clean when transporting and when handling at the fire station are also essential.
