Aluminium Bahrain (Alba), the world's largest aluminium smelter on one site, has been honoured with the 'Excellence in Safety' Award by the Lifting Equipment Engineers Association (LEEA) during its annual awards ceremony held recently at Anfield Stadium, Liverpool, UK.

The award recognises Alba's outstanding achievements in workplace safety, including reducing total injuries by nearly 60% over the past five years, fostering a bottom-up approach that ensures active employee engagement in safety initiatives, and maintaining the highest standards in safe lifting operations through continuous training and certification of its staff as lifting tackle inspectors.

The award was presented by LEEA President Oliver Austin and CEO Ross Moloney to Alba Safety and Health Superintendents Essam Hassan and Ali Hassan Radhi.

Speaking on the key achievement, Alba CEO Ali Al Baqali said: "Winning this award from a globally respected body like LEEA is a reflection of Alba's relentless pursuit of safety as a core value. This recognition inspires us to keep empowering our workforce and fostering a culture where safety leads every decision."

With over 80 years since its establishment in London, UK, LEEA is a globally recognised authority in the lifting industry and related practices, collaborating with cross-sector members to advance safety standards and set benchmarks for excellence.
