4,000,000 hours with out a Loss Time Incident !!!

The goal of every plant is not to have fewer accidents, but to have zero accidents. What sets great facilities apart from others with less than stellar safety records is active involvement from plant managers as well as corporate leaders. Most importantly a CEO who is active in promoting and developing an environment that encourages a culture of safety that can flourish in an organization. Here is a recent example of what Tim Murray, CEO of Alba and his team have created in the Middle East.

Aluminium Bahrain B.S.C. (Alba), a leading aluminium smelter of the world, has successfully achieved 4 million work hours without Lost Time Injury (LTI). This achievement underlines Alba’s continuous commitment to safety and maintaining a zero-accident work environment.

Alba’s Executive Management and various managers praised all the employees for their proactive attitude and commitment towards safety.

Applauding the employees’ efforts towards achieving this milestone, Alba’s Chief Executive Officer, Tim Murray said:

“At Alba, we believe that Ownership of Safety is everyone responsibility and the achievement of 4 million work hours without LTI could not be achieved without the commitment of employees to this principle. I thank all the employees and the Alba Labour Union for their dedication to making Alba a safe place to work.”

Alba, with the objective of enhancing awareness of safety, health and environment, continuously maintains safety awareness campaigns throughout the year. The company recently launched the Summer Safety Blizzard Campaign – a plant-wide Safety, Health and Environment (SHE) Week – to promote a safe and healthy working environment during the summer months and help employees beat the heat and work safely.

The APSB wants to congratulate Tim Murray and all the employees at Alba for understanding that safety is more than posters on the wall and slogans on a message board. Safety is changing your behavior and actions to protect not only yourself but your coworkers from accidents.

The APSB would love to know if your plant is having a safety week or starting off a new safety campaign.
