In the U.S. they have opened up a Pandora’s box by providing presumptive status to firefighters. The reason presumptive status is provided in the U.S. is because their workers compensation system operates under an Adversarial system that involves private insurers as opposed to Canada that operates or supposed to operate under an Inquiry system and presumptive status is not required as the burden of proof is not on workers but on the “Board” At least that is how it is supposed to work in Canada but somehow or other the system in Canada has become an Adversarial system. I do believe that any cancer diagnosed for fire fighters is in fact based on the balances of probabilities caused by the work environment. Click on the following link;http://ktar.com/story/
