Contractors often perform non-routine work at sites that are not directly supervised – and they often work in an unfamiliar environment. It is for these reasons, the Energy Coalition for Contractor Safety (ECCS), One Basin One Way (OBOW) and Marathon Safety Essentials programs are in place. Contractors who adhere to the pre-qualifications and attend standardized orientations or safety training often have better average total recordable rates, days away, and lost workday rates, overall.
