Alba launches new safety initiative for employees

　　Trade Arabia reported that Aluminium Bahrain has introduced a new safety initiative for contractors as part of its commitment to inculcate safety culture amongst its employees.

　　Alba said that the new Contractors Safety Management is part of the AlbaSafeWay initiative to achieve zero harm across the organization.

　　As a key component of the Alba SafeWay initiative, the CSM program provides the key building blocks in ensuring zero harm is achieved for all contractors in every area of the company’s operations.

　　Consequently, safety induction will be made mandatory for anyone entering Alba’s operational areas including drivers and other personnel from contracting companies. Contracting companies that maintain a good safety record at Alba and are able to provide audited safety records will be Alba’s preferred partners.

　　Mr Laurent Schmitt CEO of said that Alba said that “Alba has achieved remarkable success in developing a safety culture amongst its employees, and remains committed in ensuring safety remains an intrinsic element in the way day to day tasks are accomplished at the plan. CSM is a vital component of Alba SafeWay, a safety improvement plan being implemented in coordination with the Health, Safety & Environment Department and leading global consultancy DuPont Sustainable Solutions."

　　He said that the need to include contractors in Alba’s safety initiatives was prompted to broaden the scope of goals outlined for achieving ‘zero harm’ across the organization and thereby strengthen Alba’s reputation as a safe work environment.
