Menu Search SAFETY OVERVIEW ACHIEVING EXCELLENCE THROUGH SAFE OPERATIONS Marathon Oil is committed to providing safe, healthy and secure workplaces where all those involved can work free of injury and illness. As a low-cost, high-margin operator, Marathon Oil recognizes that taking the time to run our business responsibly and safely is more important than doing things quickly. We strive to achieve excellence through safe operations by working together to fulfill the expectations of our Responsible Operations Management System (ROMS). We use best practices and integrate proven, effective safe work practices throughout the exploration and production lifecycle. We actively look out for each other, maintain a safe work environment, continuously improve our procedures, train our workforce to reduce the risk of unplanned incidents and continually reinforce our mature safety culture. Operating safely is critical not only to protect our workforce, but to maintain stakeholder trust. Establishing a tone of safety and operational integrity starts at the top and is reinforced at every level of the organization. Our executive vice president of Operations, who reports to our CEO, is accountable for our safety performance, with oversight from the Health, Environmental, Safety and Corporate Responsibility (HES&CR) Committee of the board of directors. In addition, all directors bring experience in, or a strong understanding of, HES issues to their board role as outlined in our annual proxy statement. To further reinforce safety as a priority, we incorporate enterprise-wide safety metrics in our annual incentive plan for all employees and executives.

Through these leadership roles, we contributed to the development of tools and processes to help companies across the industry reduce serious injuries and fatalities.
