• Make reasonable accommodations wherever necessary for all
employees or applicants with disabilities, provided that the individual
is otherwise qualified to safely perform the duties and assignments
connected with the job and provided that any accommodations made
do not require significant difficulty or expense.
• Achieve understanding and acceptance of CDP/OKE’s
policy on Equal Employment Opportunity by all employees and by the
communities in which the company operates;
• Thoroughly investigate instances of alleged discrimination
and take corrective action if warranted;
• Be continually alert to identify and correct any practices
by individuals that are at variance with the intent of the Equal
Employment Opportunity Policy.
At this time,
CDP/OKE would like to reaffirm this policy and call upon all personnel
to effectively pursue the policy as stated.
