Shaikh Daij said: “I am pleased to welcome all our guests today to witness our ‘Safety Selfie’ campaign.”

“Safety is not just a job requirement but it has become a way of life in our company. While all our safety campaigns have a different theme, they have only one message -- Safety first at all times,” he said.

“I thank the executive management at Alba for their relentless efforts towards establishing and strengthening a safety-conscious work environment,” he added.
