SAFE OPERATIONS



        From safety professionals to office workers to haul truck drivers, each member of the Martin Marietta team does
        something to encourage safety. The ZERO campaign aims to highlight those actions by asking every person to share their
        specific contributions – from the smallest, simplest of tasks to those that are larger and far more visible.








































                                                             Testimonials for the safety campaign have been turned into
                                                             digital signs like this one that have been broadcast across the
                                                             Company.

        The safety campaign evolved from recent Guardian Angel safety training with the West Division’s new colleagues in the
        Pacific Region. After introducing the concept of ZERO incidents to a California audience, the division’s safety professionals
        asked individual participants, How do you keep your ZERO? The question was used to engage audience members
        directly by singling out each person, forcing them to give thought to their individual actions and how they drive safety.

        “If you are intentional in what you can do to keep your own zero, and your teammate is doing the same, you eventually
        build until the entire crew works together to strive toward ZERO incidents,” says West Division Director of Safety Chris
        Downs, “That’s the ultimate safety goal.” Once the question was posed to the California teams, conversations became
        specific, personal and engaging. During numerous training sessions offered in the Pacific Region, audiences became
        increasingly involved with each team responding to the ZERO incident prompt. Hunt, Downs and other safety
        professionals say this is exactly the type of participation that should occur regularly at every Martin Marietta location,
        regardless of whether it is a heritage site, a greenfield or an established operation joining the Company through
        acquisition.
