SAFE OPERATIONS

An Exchange of Ideas

Division Leaders Meet to Discuss Safety and Operational Excellence

Two of Martin Marietta’s divisional teams held safety and operational excellence conferences in 2024 to encourage
innovation, reflection, and future planning.

Both the Central and East divisions held separate multi-day events, with each conference emphasizing the value of
discussion, brainstorming, and networking. More than just opportunities to share ideas, the events offered crucial
platforms for each attendee to contribute to their division’s world-class excellence journey.

The Central Division’s leaders met in Peoria, Illinois to discuss new and exciting ways to optimize safety initiatives at their
respective sites. Ohio District Production Manager Ryan Blevins expressed how the Peoria conference fostered a sense of
unity and shared purpose, solidifying the division’s ONE team mentality.

“I would say the biggest takeaway was the opportunity for communication among the Central Division’s individual
regions. It seems like all of our regions are fighting the same battles; we are all facing similar issues and coming up with
creative solutions,” he said. “I know that I will be reaching out to my counterparts more after the conference instead of
trying to reinvent the wheel when I face issues going forward.”

The conference’s many sessions included talks on the value of communication, conveyor best practices, and maintenance
and safety work orders. Company leadership also facilitated in-depth discussions about a range of various topics,
including investor expectations, operational excellence priorities, and others.
