Alba achieves safety milestone

Alba, the world’s largest aluminium smelter ex-China, set new records in safety yesterday as it surpassed 25 million safe working-hours without lost time injury (LTI) for the first time in the history of its commercial operations.

This milestone came alongside exceeding 25m metric tonnes in overall production since the company began operations in 1971.

Alba chief executive Ali Al Baqali said: “Alba is the author of its own destiny. Achieving 25 million-milestone, in both safety and production, allowed us to sign up in history books for our golden jubilee of operations.

Safety and production are mutually inclusive, and these numbers reflect that our strong safety culture is behind our productivity performance. All our endeavours – Safety campaigns, hours, visits, lectures, etc., embody our belief that safety comes first, no matter what.

I thank our people, employees and contractors’ personnel, for going above and beyond to deliver first-class results amidst the Covid-19 crisis.”
