Aluminium Bahrain (Alba), the Bahrain-based aluminium smelter, revealed that its Line 6 Smelter exceeded more than 10 million work-hours without a single lost time injury (LTI), a major safety milestone, by mid-April.

Alba’s chief executive officer Tim Murray said: “Safety is our best insurance policy. This milestone is truly a remarkable achievement by our Line 6 smelter team (over 6,000 employees and contractors) and is a testament to the workers and contractors’ commitment to Alba’s Safety standards.”

“I express my thanks to the Line 6 Smelter teams and look forward to attain higher safety goals as we move ahead with Line 6 Expansion Project construction,” he added.

Alba has won international accolades for its strict adherence to local and international safety standards, rigorous safety training initiatives and employee safety and health programmes, it stated. – TradeArabia News Service
