“More and more governments are stepping up to the plate to enact laws that protect our members who get cancer by allowing them to apply for workers’ compensation so they can get the treatment they need to return to work protecting their communities. The NFORS Personal Exposure App will help provide our members with the evidence they need to show on-the-job exposure to a toxic soup of carcinogens.” Harold A. Schaitberger General President, International Association of Fire FightersDownload the Mobile App
Visit the Apple App store or Google Play and search “NFORS”. Download the app to your personal phone and complete your profile. It’s that simple!

NFORS Exposure Tracking Has Gone Mobile! The new National Fire Operations Reporting System (NFORS) exposure tracking module is now available as an app from the Google Play store and the Apple App store. With the mobile app, any fire fighter, paramedic or officer can access and use the exposure tracker which serves as a personal database providing a detailed history of work and exposures in a private, encrypted and secure online environment. Benefits of the mobile Exposure Tracker: • Documents both physical and behavioral
health exposures throughout your career • Document exposures on-the-go from
anywhere • Your data stays with you even into
retirement • Track all of your incidents throughout
your career with live NFORS CAD integrations in your department
• Be part of National Firefighter Cancer studies by opting-in to share your exposure data with researchers
How to Get Started Download the app and complete your NFORS individual profile. This profile will be yours alone. The data you enter will be
encrypted and secure. The department will not have access to your data. If your department participates in NFORS CAD, the department will receive periodic aggregate reports about overall exposure trends — not individual reports. Upon the completion of your profile, you will be assigned a unique NFORS ID Code Number that will remain your NFORS ID for life. You will keep your NFORS account and all your data
even if you leave the department or retire Department Participation Encourage your department to participate in this nationwide program to ensure that you have information about your on-the-job exposures readily available should you ever need it and as part of the ongoing fire fighter cancer surveillance research to stop the proliferation of this deadly disease in our ranks. By linking your department to NFORS, your incident data will automatically load directly into your personal exposure record. .
