Project description * Maximum 4000 characters

They enter collapsing buildings, rescue the seriously injured in the midst of flames, and plunge into rivers from flooding. Germs and illnesses may not usually be thought of when considering the use of firefighter PPE, but the truth is that these clean uniforms, equipment and accessories can prevent many skin diseases as well as the spread of others. dangerous diseases. When we think about the health of a firefighter, we must consider both the obvious occupational threats, such as cancer, burns, and smoke inhalation illnesses, as well as MRSA and staph infections, the latter often found in fire fighting equipment. protection, as they are often exposed to flooding, contact with blood, sewage and a host of other hazardous fluids.
