The emphasis of the book is on the risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, traumatic hazards, and disabling psychosocial adjustment following major incidents. Those interested in this book will include scientists studying firefighters, fire service managers with responsibility for occupational health and prevention, lawyers and workers’ compensation case managers, and professionals who are retained to render opinions regarding a case or claim. The relevance of material in this book is not limited to firefighting as an occupation.

The chapters on epidemiology, interpretation of evidence, and compensation policy also apply to other occupations and compensation issues. The health risks and hazards and can be used as a model for other issues in occupational health and compensation, and hos these issues are analyzed, interpreted, and address by public policy.
