SAFE OPERATIONS
World-Class Safety Performance
Given the nature and physical demands of our quarrying activities,
operating our business safely is at the core of our long-term success
and our ability to continue delivering value. We believe our
employees are our most valuable asset and, in 2020, we continued
our impressive safety performance.
“In 2020, our lost-time incident rate was
0.15, meaning 99.8 percent of our ~8,600
employees experienced zero lost-time
incidents, a world-class level for the
fourth straight year.”
And our 2020 performance is the best safety record in Martin Marietta’s history, despite nearly continuous operations as
an “essential business” during the COVID-19 pandemic, with Company-wide lost time and total injury incidents near or
exceeding world-class levels. In 2020, our lost-time incident rate was 0.15, meaning 99.8 percent of our ~8,600
employees experienced zero lost-time incidents, achieving a world-class level for the fourth straight year. We believe that
we are on the right track to realizing our goal of zero incidents and our Guardian Angel safety culture is a key part of our
ongoing efforts to keep our employees safe.
