ManamaAluminium Bahrain (Alba), the world’s largest single-site smelter, continues to demonstrate its safety leadership, cementing its position as one of safety industry leaders. This achievement is underscored by the recent win of the prestigious British Safety Council (BSC)’s International Safety Award 2024 with Merit.
Recognising Alba’s exceptional safety record over the past year, the award was presented during the BSC’s International Safety Awards Gala Dinner that was held on June 7 at the InterContinental London Park Lane Hotel, United Kingdom.
Nezar Hameed, Alba’s Senior Safety and Health Manager, proudly received the recognition from Michael Robinson, CEO of the British Safety Council, in the presence of Zainab Hassan, Alba’s Head of Medical Administration.
Ali Al Baqali, Alba’s Chief Executive Officer, said “At Alba, safety isn’t just a priority, it’s a shared responsibility. A strong safety culture, where teamwork and prioritising safety are fundamental, is embedded throughout our organization.”
”
By empowering our employees to prioritise safety in all aspects of their work, we’ve built a strong foundation for a zero-accident environment. This award from the British Safety Council is a proud testament to our entire team’s dedication,” the CEO added.
Since 2014, Alba has received a total of 11 awards from the British Safety Council. In November 2023, Alba was the first smelter in the GCC to achieve the coveted 4-star audit rating, following a successful Five Star Occupational Health and Safety Audit conducted by the British Safety Council.
