SAFE OPERATIONS

company’s Basic Safety Rules and create a Guardian Angel Fundamentals icon that aims to bring attention to four
common potential hazards: work at heights, power controls, line-of-fire incidents and slips, trips and falls.

To further emphasize the importance of safety, Martin Marietta presents annually DIAMOND AWARDS, and one of our
facilities receives the DIAMOND ELITE AWARD.
The DIAMOND AWARDS are a recognition and commitment that at Martin Marietta, we view ourselves as an industry
leader, respected for the work we do to help make things possible. Whether it’s roads or bridges or buildings, our
specialty is building strong foundations. The foundation of our success as a Company is the dedicated, talented teams of
employees who day in and day out work hard, safely and ethically to provide our customers with quality products and
materials. We know that our people are our most precious asset, essential to everything we accomplish.

To recognize our employees’ excellent efforts, DIAMOND AWARDS are presented each year to the “best of the best” at
Martin Marietta. Consisting of three tiers (Achievement, Honor and Elite), the DIAMOND AWARDS program rewards
exceptional performance in all of our divisions and business segments.
The criteria for each of our award levels are:
1. No reportable safety incidents during the previous calendar year;
2. No environmental notices of violation during the previous calendar
year; and
3. Return on assets that exceeds the Company’s weighted average cost
of capital for the previous calendar year, in addition to other financial
performance metrics.

All operations that achieve this criteria receive Martin Marietta’s Diamond
Achievement Award. To be considered for a Diamond Honor Award,an
operation must meet the criteria for no environmental violations and the
financial metric for three consecutive years. They must also show continuous
safety improvement over a three-year period, with zero incidents the third
year. The Diamond Elite Award winner is recognized for performance and
achievements above all the rest.
