29 CFR 1910.120 is enforced on fire departments in Illinois by which authority?

The correct answer is the Illinois Department of Labor, as it has the authority to enforce occupational safety and health regulations, including those outlined in 29 CFR 1910.120 concerning hazardous waste operations and emergency response. This regulation is part of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards that apply to a variety of workers, including those in emergency services like fire departments.

The Illinois Department of Labor oversees the implementation of workplace safety laws, ensuring that fire departments comply with training, safety protocols, and protective measures when dealing with hazardous materials. This includes providing guidelines for the safe handling, storage, and disposal of hazardous substances that emergency responders may encounter.

Other choices, while they may have specific areas of oversight related to health, transportation, or environmental concerns, do not specifically address the enforcement of occupational health and safety regulations for fire departments as directly as the Illinois Department of Labor does.
