The accomplishment recognises Alba’s steadfast dedication and commitment to health and safety practices

as well as managing risks to workers’ health, safety and wellbeing.

Alba underwent a 12-day comprehensive and robust evaluation in September 2023 of its occupational health

and safety management systems, and had its performance measured against a number of key best

practice indicators, which included leadership, stakeholder engagement, risk management, organisational

health, safety culture, and continual improvement. Commenting on this occasion, Alba’s Chief Executive

Officer Ali Al Baqali stated: “We are humbled to be the first aluminium smelter in the GCC to have reached

the 4 star level. This recognition is a reflection of our Safety culture where every person takes responsibility

for their actions and looks out for one another. I take the opportunity to thank each and every employee

as well as contractor’s personnel for upholding the best safety protocols at all times.”

The BSC Five Star Occupational Health and Safety Audit is one of the most distinguished, contemporary,
