SUMMARY:
Database documenting firefighter exposure to toxic substances. Requests the Virginia Fire Services Board to develop and maintain a statewide database documenting firefighter exposure to toxic substances. Pursuant to § 9-155 of the Code of Virginia, the Board, within the Department of Fire Programs, is responsible for promoting the coordination of the efforts of fire service organizations at the state and local levels and is statutorily directed to "develop and implement a statewide plan for the collection, analysis and reporting of data relating to fires in the Commonwealth, utilizing appropriate resources of other state agencies when deemed proper by the Board." The Board is to examine the implementation of prevention and safety measures and is to report on its progress in the development of the database to the House Labor and Commerce and Senate Commerce and Labor Committees in November 1995; its findings and recommendations are to be submitted to the Governor and General Assembly in 1996. This measure is a recommendation of the Joint Subcommittee Studying the Increased Mortality Rate and the Increased Rate of Certain Types of Cancer Among Firefighters (HJR 428).
