Alba wins British Safety Council Award

Aluminium Bahrain (Alba)'s commitment towards ensuring good health and safety at the work place once again received acclaim at the international level after the company recently won the British Safety Council's International Safety Award 2009 for the third consecutive year. This will be the second prestigious safety award that Alba has won this year for the third time. Earlier this year, Alba scored another hat trick after winning the RoSPA Occupational Health and Safety Award 2009 for the third time in a row. Alba has clearly demonstrated its dedication towards improving performance in the area of good health and safety and the well being of its employees. Entering the British Safety Council Awards reinforces the message that good health and safety is good for business and that the organisation is committed to reducing the number of accidents and cases of ill-health at the work place. Abdulla Yaqoob Senan, Manager for Safety and Security, Alba, remarked: 'Participating and winning the Award for three years in a row is truly a reward for all our efforts in promoting good health and safety as well as in improving the work environment for our employees. This year we have converted to the OHSAS 18001 Version 2007, which places greater emphasis on health. I would like to thank the management and all employees for their commitment and efforts to turn this into a reality.' Alba has consistently maintained a high track record for safety, continues to enforce strict environmental guidelines and has surpassed production targets set for the year. It supports numerous community oriented programmes and social activities that have underlined its status as one of Bahrain's leading industrial organisations that remains fully committed to its corporate social responsibility.
