The Company strictly prohibits all forms of discrimination and harassment (including sexual harassment) of any employee based upon that person's race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, pregnancy, disability, sexual orientation, veteran status, age, FMLA status, or any other basis protected by federal, state or local statute, ordinance or regulation. The Company is committed to the prevention of any and all impermissible discrimination and harassment. All members of management and other employees are protected by this policy and responsible for ensuring that harassment in violation of this policy does not occur.

All actions that relate to employment will be administered without regard to race, color, creed, religion, national origin, gender, marital status, pregnancy, disability, sexual orientation, veteran status, age, FMLA status, medical condition, or any other status protected by federal, state or local law. These employment actions include such areas as recruitment, compensation, transfer, promotion, benefits, training and termination.

The Company considers illegal drugs and alcohol in the workplace to be a hazard to an employee's health, dangerous to every employee's safety and a hindrance to maintaining a productive and qualified workforce. Substance abuse is an impediment to competent workers and quality products, and as such cannot be condoned in the workplace. Accordingly, the Company is dedicated to maintaining a workplace free of illegal drugs and alcohol.

Maintaining a safe and secure work environment for all employees is a priority at the Company. To keep our workplace a safe and desirable one, the Company maintains a Violence-Free Workplace Policy. Acts or threats of physical violence, including intimidation, harassment and/or coercion, which involve or affect the Company, or which occur on Company property, will not be tolerated.
