Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSHA) mandates that employers must provide a safe and healthy workplace for their employees. In this case, the fire department is not providing adequate equipment for protection against hazardous substances, which is a violation of OSHA regulations. The National Labor Relations Act of 1935 pertains to the rights of employees to organize and engage in collective bargaining, the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 sets minimum wage and overtime pay standards, and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination in employment based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. While important, these acts are not directly related to the fire department's failure to provide adequate equipment for protection against hazardous substances.
