Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Equal employment opportunity (EEO) regulations provide guidelines for identifying and protecting employees against discrimination based on their race, gender, age, disability, religion, or other protected status. These regulations are enforced by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) in the United States. Private employers may also provide additional protections for employees, but the primary source of legal protection comes from EEO regulations. The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) requires businesses to report on the storage and use of hazardous materials, but it does not provide legal protection for employees. Similarly, foreign legal consultants may provide guidance to companies operating overseas, but their recommendations are not binding in the United States.
