FIRE FIGHTER RESOURCES
National Fire Fighter Registry: On Monday, July 9th 2018 President Donald Trump signed legislation requiring the CDC to set up a registry of fire fightersExternal that will track links between their workplace exposures and cancer. NIOSH will take the lead in establishing the registry. If you have questions, email FFRegistry@cdc.gov.
CDC/NIOSH has posted a Request for Information (RFI) to seek input on the National Firefighter RegistryExternal. In the RFI, we outline three possible enrollment strategies and pose a list of questions for our stakeholders. Specifically, NIOSH is asking for input on how to maximize participation for the Registry. We encourage anyone with interest in firefighter health and safety to comment on the RFI. The comment period opened on Thursday, March 28th, 2019 and will close on May 28th, 2019.
