Commitment to Equal Opportunity
The Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board (DNFSB) is committed to the principles of equal opportunity in all its programs, policies, and practices. We ensure compliance with federal anti-discrimination laws to create a workplace that respects the rights and dignity of all employees.
If you are a DNFSB employee or job applicant, the law protects you from discrimination based on:
- Race
- Color
- Religion
- Sex (including pregnancy)
- National origin
- Age (40 or older)
- Disability
- Genetic information
The law also protects you from retaliation if you oppose employment discrimination, file a complaint of discrimination, or participate in the EEO complaint process.
Federal EEO Complaint Processing Procedures
If you feel your rights have been violated or wish to file an EEO complaint, please contact the Civil Rights Director, Mr. Randee Artis at EEOInfo@dnfsb.gov.
The Three Major Functions of the EEO Program

Accessibility and Reasonable Accommodation:

- Facilitate reasonable accommodations and Personal Assistance Services (PAS) for employees with disabilities.
Anti-Harassment Program
The DNFSB’s Anti-Harassment Program helps the Agency address inappropriate workplace conduct before it becomes legally impermissible harassment. This program ensures compliance with Title VII and supports a professional, respectful work environment for all employees.
Accessibility
Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973:
Section 508 requires federal agencies to ensure that their electronic and information technology is accessible to individuals with disabilities. Examples include websites, telephones, multimedia devices, and office equipment. For more information about Section 508 compliance, visit www.section508.gov.
Architectural Barriers Act of 1968:
The Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) mandates accessibility to federally funded facilities. For more information or to file a complaint, visit the Access Board at www.access-board.gov.
