We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities.

To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one.
People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.
Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so.
Your answer is confidential.
