What is the primary purpose of 'community right-to-know' regulations in this context?

• A. To publish staff salaries
• B. To reveal quarterly budgets
• C. To make a list of hazardous materials available to local emergency response groups
• D. To provide visitor access logs to the public

Answer: (C)

Community right-to-know regulations are about informing those who need to respond to emergencies about what hazardous materials are on site and where they are located. By providing a current inventory of chemicals, their quantities, and their locations to local emergency response groups, responders can assess risks, choose the right protective equipment, plan containment and evacuation if needed, and act quickly and safely during spills or fires. This information sharing directly supports safer and more effective emergency response in the community.

The other options don’t fit because publishing staff salaries, quarterly budgets, or visitor access logs has no relation to handling hazardous materials or guiding emergency actions.
