Safety

Marathon is committed to creating a safe work environment and works diligently to achieve an accident-free, incident-free workplace throughout its operations. Safety performance indicators are a key part of Marathon's corporate and operational performance commitments with targets designed to drive continual improvement.

The Company uses a variety of methodologies to raise awareness and improve the safety performance of employees and contractors. These include communication, training and education, mentoring, evaluation of leading and lagging metrics, emergency preparedness, behavior-based safety (BBS) programs, coaching and recognition. The Company investigates injuries and incidents, reviews near misses and implements corrective actions. These programs are the cornerstone of Marathon's safety culture.

Occupational injuries and illnesses worldwide are tracked in accordance with the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Recordkeeping Standard. The Company uses the Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) and Days Away Rate (DAR) as the primary metrics to track safety performance and illnesses related to the work environment. These rates represent the number of cases per 200,000 work hours (equivalent to the hours worked by 100 full-time workers in a year).
