Over the past few weeks, we’ve covered efforts to reduce cancer at the fire station and on the fireground. This week, we will capture risk factors while you are off shift. This week’s materials will cover a variety of personal modifiable risk factors you can address on and off the job to reduce your cancer risk. Some of these factors include tobacco and alcohol use, fitness, nutrition, sleep hygiene, and stress.
