SAFE OPERATIONS
“Essential Business” Operations During
COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on the world, including our business and community, over
the past year. As Martin Marietta’s business has to date been considered “essential” under applicable governmental
orders, we have continued to meet the needs of our customers and communities, all of whom depend on us being able
to continue operating, and to do so safely.
Some of the responsible steps we implemented in response to the pandemic include:
• Enhancing facility and equipment cleaning
• Implementing personal safety protocols, social distancing and remote work (where possible), consistent with the
guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and our industrial hygienist group medical physicians
• Establishing task forces related to COVID-19 planning and communications
• Cancelling all non-essential in-person meetings and business travel
• Developing contingency plans with respect to facility staffing
• Active monitoring of the COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences and our need to respond to its impact on our
operations, business relationships and employees
These measures allowed us to continue serving our customers and our communities, providing a safe workplace for our
employees, and building the critical infrastructure of our states and nation. Despite our almost 9,000 employees and 400
sites, we experienced very few employee-to-employee COVID-19 transmissions.
