Safety should be a part of the daily environment of a plant. Aluminium Bahrain (Alba) has developed safety programs that bring a continued focus on
safety throughout the year. Here is a recent story of their good work to make their workers safer:
Aluminium
Bahrain B.S.C. (Alba), a leading aluminium smelter in the world, inaugurated
the first plant-wide Safety, Health & Environment (SHE) Week of 2015 today,
Sunday, February 15, 2015.
Organised
in coordination with Alba Labour Union, the five-day event is designed to
further reinforce Alba’s principles of safety and promote awareness of the
importance of different safety, health and environment issues.
The
SHE Week’s theme is “Safety Breeze”; each day will focus on a different theme
-- Waste generation and segregation; Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders;
Home Fire; Vehicles & Pedestrian Safety and Behavioural Safety.
The
event will not involve a centralised location but comprise plant visits by the
Executive Management, Managers and senior officials of the Company. During
these visits, on–the-spot quizzes and competitions will be held, wherein
employees stand a chance to win gifts and prizes.
Commenting
on this occasion, Alba’s Chief Executive Officer, Tim Murray said:
“At
Alba, we continuously strive to achieve a zero accident work environment
through employee-centric activities and programmes on safety awareness. As the
first SHE Week event of the year, we intend to enhance employees' abilities and
understanding of safety issues, as well as improve their behaviour, enabling
them to perform more safely and efficiently."
Speaking
about the SHE Week, Chairman of Alba Labour Union, Ali Al Binali said: “We
at Alba stress on the importance of making safety a priority in all aspects of
life. The SHE Week along with other similar events aims to create a safe
working environment for all employees, for their own sake and for the sake of
their families.”
Alba
maintains safety awareness campaigns throughout the year, and this is
accomplished through the weekly Monday safety hours, five-minute safety talk before
each shift, or the annual SHE Week for all the departments
The Aluminium Plant Safety Blog congratulates Alba for all that they
do on a daily basis to provide a safe working environment. Alba in a short time
has become an industry leader in safety. They continually impress the APSB with
their unique safety campaigns that are carried out throughout the year. Many in
our industry are wise to look to Alba for benchmarking and to emulate their
safety programs. Keep up the good work!
If you aluminium plant is having a safety campaign, please let the
APSB know about it.
