Aluminium Bahrain (Alba), one of the world’s leading aluminium smelters, has launched the 'Safety Jungle Campaign’, a plant-wide safety, health and environment (SHE) week to promote a safe and healthy working environment.

The campaign which ends on June 18, is a demonstration of Alba’s commitment to promote a greater safety awareness across the organisation, said a statement from the company.

The SHE week’s opening ceremony was attended by Alba board directors, Dr Mohamed Kameshki, and Fahad Nasser Al-Hazzani, along with executive management, Alba labour union, and representatives from the Ministry of Interior.
 
Alba will host a wide range of events targeting employees across the plant and will address various safety topics including traffic safety, home safety, hygiene, accident prevention, waste, and safe fasting, said the statement.

Speaking on the campaign, CEO Tim Murray, said: “At Alba safety is our number one priority and we believe ownership of safety is everyone’s responsibility.”

“Our SHE campaigns are designed with a special theme to convey our safety messages and raise awareness,” he added.

The main messages of the Safety Jungle Campaign are as follows:  

•    The Jungle is to remind us that there are risks/hazards all around us and we must always be aware.
•    The Bahrain summer is very hot just like a jungle.  Please watch your health and drink lots of water.
•    Green is everywhere in a Jungle.  We want Alba’s environment to be green and healthy like a jungle.

Ali Al Binali, the chairman of the labour union, said: “As we approach summer and Ramadan, we want everyone to stay safe at all times. We urge our workers to make the best of the educative and awareness sessions that will be held during the SHE Week.” – TradeArabia News Service
