Alba makes history as it tops 15 million working-hours without LTI

Aluminium Bahrain B.S.C. (Alba) made history when it topped 15 million working-hours without Lost Time Injury (LTI) on Saturday for the first time since its commercial operations began in 1971.

“2019 has been a significant year for Alba in many ways and we are proud to have amassed accolades as we bring this year to a close. We thank our employees and contractors without whom this milestone would not have been possible,” Alba’s Chairman of the Board of Directors Shaikh Daij bin Salman bin Daij Al Khalifa said.

“We look forward to unfolding a new era in 2020 as Alba becomes a 1.5 million metric tonnes smelter with Line 6 fully on stream,” he added
“Achieving 15 million working-hours without LTI for the first time in Alba’s history proves that everything is possible when we, employees and contractors, want the same objective,” Alba’s Acting Chief Executive Officer, Ali Al Baqali said.

“As we are about to enter 2020, we will remain focussed on Safety first and foremost, Employee Development, Community Development and Operational Resilience.”

Alba has been consistently delivering on its Safety performance by first achieving 5 million working-hours without LTI on 30 April 2019 followed by first-time-ever 10 million working-hours without LTI on August 27.
