[All SPHR Questions]

As a Senior HR Professional, you must be familiar with certain legal terms, laws, and regulations that affect how you and others operate in the workplace. One term is protected class. Which of the following statements best describes a protected class?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Answer option C is correct.

A Notice of Contest must be filed within 15 days of the citation. The OSH Act requires employers to allow the CSHO to inspect the workplace (D). Employers may request variances until repairs are made (A) or for processes that provide equal or greater safety for workers. Employers may consult with OSHA to identify possible hazards without fear of a citation or penalty (B); but once a consultant becomes involved, the employer must abate any violations, or the consultant will refer the violation to an OSHA inspector.

Wait, is a protected class like a secret society where they all wear capes and fight for justice? No? Dang, option B sounds way more fun than the actual definition.

Option D is a bit too specific, isn't it? I mean, a protected class can be based on race, but also gender, religion, disability, and a whole bunch of other characteristics. Gotta keep those definitions broad, you know?

Oh, I was totally fooled by option C. I thought a protected class was just a bunch of people who didn't have anything in common. Guess I need to brush up on my legal jargon!

Haha, a protected class is like a secret club, but instead of cool handshakes, it's all about anti-discrimination laws! Option B is so off the mark, it's like saying the 'protected' part means they're exempt from the rules.

I'm not sure, but I think A is correct because it aligns with the purpose of protecting individuals from discrimination based on shared characteristics.

I agree with Alayna, A makes sense because protected classes are groups of people who are safeguarded from discrimination.
