Safety

Marathon is committed to keeping our employees, contractors and neighbors safe and healthy through appropriate business practices. Safety performance indicators are a key part of Marathon's corporate and operational performance commitments with targets designed to drive continual improvement.

Occupational injuries and illnesses worldwide are tracked using the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Recordkeeping Standard. Safety statistics are reported as Total Recordable Incident Rates (TRIR) and Days Away Rates (DAR). These rates represent the number of recordable cases per 200,000 work hours (equivalent to the hours worked by 100 full-time workers in a year).

  • Upstream is employing a multi-year plan that includes progressively lower safety targets and concerted efforts to improve contractor safety performance, especially in the U.S.
  • Upstream is utilizing a new safety leadership training workshop that links leadership skills with safety and productivity.
  • Downstream participates in OSHA’s Voluntary Protection Program.
  • Both Upstream and Downstream seek improved HES performance through implementation of management systems (Global Performance System or Responsible Care Management System®).
  • Marathon take an integrated team approach to continually improve process safety globally.
