Aluminium Bahrain (Alba), one of the world’s leading aluminium smelters, has launched its new campaign titled ‘Together we can beat the heat’.

The campaign is aimed at improving safety awareness among the employees and to minimise heat stress related injuries, said a statement from the company.

Launched on July 23, the campaign underlines the company’s long-standing commitment to its employees’ safety.
    
The campaign’s opening ceremony was attended by Alba’s CEO Tim Murray, along with other executive management and the chairman of Alba Labour Union Ali Al Binali along with other representatives of the union.

The initiative organised by Alba’s management will focus on four main steps: know the symptoms, drink water regularly, use the cooling cloth and take frequent breaks, said the statement.

This campaign will include several visits in the next few weeks by members of the company’s management to operational areas to urge employees to watch over their colleagues during the hot summer months, it said.

Murray said: “The summer months are a very difficult period and it is our top priority to ensure our workers’ safety.”

“Through our continued campaigns, we are encouraging the ownership of safety and asking all employees and contractors to raise safety awareness,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
