OCRC’s Occupational Disease Surveillance System (ODSS) investigated cancer risk among Ontario firefighters and found that Ontario firefighters in the ODSS have a 23% higher risk of developing any cancer, compared to all other workers in the ODSS.
To see a breakdown of the findings and learn more about cancer risks related to firefighting, check out our surveillance alert “Flames and Risks: Firefighting Causes Cancer”.
This International Women’s Day, the OCRC is recognizing the important contributions women make in the Ontario workforce.
