Presumptive Cancer Legislation Fire Chief Ken G. Block Edmonton Fire Rescue Services

Presumptive Cancer Legislation USA The first state to enact firefighter cancer presumption law was California in 1982, followed by Rhode Island in 1986. There are currently 40 states with presumption laws enacted for firefighters with cancer as an occupational illness. There has been positive political development in states currently without legislation. Example: Georgia state lawmakers passed a bill on March 16, 2017 that is awaiting signature by the governor. The laws from state to state vary greatly in legislation language and the types of cancer covered.

Presumptive Cancer Legislation

Presumptive Cancer Legislation CANADA The first province to make amendments to existing legislation concerning presumptive cancers was Manitoba in 2002, followed by Alberta in 2003. There are currently 11 provinces/territories with presumptive cancer legislation and 2 provinces/territories without. The Manitoba/Alberta model has become the template for other jurisdictions, with 14 presumptive cancers covered. There has also been positive political development in Canada. British Columbia announced in March, 2017 that the list of cancers presumed to be related to firefighting will increase from 10 to 14, matching the coverage in Manitoba and Alberta.

Presumptive Cancer Legislation AUSTRALIA Beginning in 2011 the Australian Parliament (Commonwealth) introduced legislation that if a firefighter is diagnosed with a particular type of cancer then there is a legal presumption that the cancer resulted from their employment as a firefighter.
