Health

Marathon values the health and wellness of our employees, retirees and their families. To promote good health, we provide resources, information and education locally and across the Company. Participation, which is voluntary, heightens awareness and helps maintain and improve health, compliance and performance. Ultimately, this leads to a healthier, safer workplace.

Marathon complies with applicable laws, regulations and other requirements for a safe and healthy workplace for employees and contractors. Employee health benefits and services are based on employment practices for local employees in communities where Marathon operates. We monitor and minimize infections and chronic diseases through local, regional and international surveillance and control programs.

The Company offers optional wellness programs and awareness activities designed to be competitive, promote good health care and contain costs for Marathon and employees.

HES&S policies and standards cover health programs for international travelers, hearing conservation, chemical handling and storage, respiratory protection, exposure assessment and other potential workplace health issues.

Material Safety Data Sheets

Marathon develops Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for all of our products. MSDS ensure that safety and health information on the manufacturing, storage, use and disposal of hazardous chemicals is available to customers, contractors, transporters and others who may come into contact with them.

Occupational Exposure

Marathon's Occupational and Environmental Hygiene (OEH) programs protect and maintain the health and wellbeing of our employees and the public. These programs help us anticipate, recognize, evaluate and control environmental factors or stressors arising in or from the workplace. OEH standards provide systems covering workplace-related chemical, microbiological and physical health hazards.

Marathon's comprehensive exposure assessment process (EXAM) is designed to anticipate, recognize, evaluate and control potential exposures to chemical and physical agents. EXAM incorporates our traditional industrial hygiene monitoring with a qualitative assessment to ensure all potential exposures are evaluated and controlled. EXAM integrates the results of assessments and monitoring using Bayesian Decision Analysis. This integrated exposure assessment result is used to determine appropriate controls and frequency for reassessment.
