SAFE OPERATIONS
Safety First
At Martin Marietta, safety is first in everything we do. It is our primary company value and the first agenda item for all meetings, from toolbox talks at our plants to executive meetings in our boardroom. Everything at Martin Marietta begins with safety.
Safety is vital to our culture and a shared responsibility. When it comes to injuries and incidents, zero is our goal every day. Each employee is empowered to challenge any conditions or practices that are potentially unsafe without the fear of repercussion.
Our team of safety professionals reports to the company's Ethics, Environment, Safety and Health Committee of our Board of Directors, and works alongside our nearly 9,000 employees every day to lead our journey to zero.
