Breast Cancer Presumed Occupational Illness

Fire fighters in Canada are supporting legislation that would establish a legal presumption that breast cancer is an occupationally related illness. The legislation also creates a presumption that 3 other cancers (skin, prostate and multiple melanoma) are causally related to their employment in claims for workers' compensation benefits.
