Aluminium Bahrain (Alba), a leading aluminium smelter in the world, has been awarded the British Safety Council’s (Gold) International Safety Award for 2015 for its commitment and diligent efforts towards maintaining safety, health and well-being of its workforce during 2015.

Alba’s chief executive officer Tim Murray received the award at a ceremony earlier this month, at Grosvenor House Hotel, London, said a statement from the company.

Widely regarded as a premier event in the safety and health calendar, the award recognises and rewards organisations that are committed to corporate safety and health, it added.

Murray said: “Alba believes that employee safety and health are the two most important factors that affect our productivity and overall performance.”

“Over the recent years, Alba has maintained an excellent track record of safety and health and winning an international recognition is a testimony to our efforts,” he said.

“We will continue to push harder and do more than necessary in order to raise the bar and meet our goals of employee safety and health,” he added.

Mike Robinson, chief executive of the British Safety Council, said: “The council commends Alba on this achievement, which is in recognition of their commitment and efforts to keep their employees and workplaces free of injury and ill health. Our warmest congratulations.” – TradeArabia News Service
