scope:

PURPOSE. To prescribe procedures in accordance with Coast Guard Policy and DHS Anti- Harassment Policy (see attached) for combating harassment in the U.S. Coast Guard and promptly correct any harassment that occurs. The Coast Guard continually strives to meet the highest standards of personal respect by valuing human dignity and diversity in accordance with our core values of honor, respect, and devotion to duty. In order to meet this objective, every commander, manager and supervisor must be personally committed to and responsible for the fair and equal treatment of all Coast Guard personnel and to those with whom it interacts. To this end, the Coast Guard's goal is to safeguard the workplace environment so that no member of the workforce shall be subject to physical or verbal harassment, abuse or violence based on an individual's race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, marital status, parental status, political affiliation or any other bias protected by law.
