Mar-Jac Poultry Hits 4 Million Hours Without a Lost-Time Accident

The company reached this target on August 18, 2026, accelerating through the final million-hour increment in just four months. Having crossed the one-million-hour threshold in October 2025, the team maintained momentum by hitting two million hours in February 2026 and three million by April. Nathan Mathis, Human Resources Director, attributes the record to a collective focus on hazard identification and peer-to-peer accountability rather than any single corporate policy.

Management emphasizes that the milestone serves as a metric for team cohesion rather than a competitive goal. By integrating regular safety audits, active employee committees, and continuous training into the daily workflow, the company has positioned its Georgia operations among the safest in the poultry sector. Despite the record-setting run, leadership views the number as a baseline for ongoing vigilance rather than a finish line, with teams already pivoting to maintain these protocols for future production cycles.
