SAFE OPERATIONS

Why I Work Safely Campaign
Continues to Grow

From the moment his steel-toed boots first touch down on quarry ground, Plant Manager Keith Flynn is focused. He has
rock to crush, orders to process and decisions to make that will ultimately affect his well-being as well as that of his crew,
their families and the Company.

“We don’t just work safely because of a motto, or a sign,
or a tagline. We work safely for the people involved – the
family members, the friends and the other loved ones.”

Not long into the morning, he’s all about business as he
meets with the Porcupine Mountain Quarry team. They
talk about equipment maintenance and the important
projects of the day. They talk about special work taking
place and make sure everyone knows about the visitors
they expect onsite. It’s business talk and it’s all necessary,
but when the topic of safety comes up (and it does
frequently), something changes in Flynn’s tone. This
change is why he shared his story for the Why I Work
Safely campaign.

“This is a reminder that safety is personal,” he says
about a photo of his wife and three sons.

The idea of highlighting personal photographs and
safety testimonials at Martin Marietta isn’t a new one.
Operations and offices across the Company have long
utilized such photos and stories to varying degrees.
