Commenting on this accomplishment, Tim Murray, CEO of Alba, said, “The five million work-hours without LTI is a further testament of Alba’s commitment to a zero-injuries work environment.”
“I express my gratitude and appreciation to the Line 6 Owner’s Team and contractors for achieving this milestone together,” he added.
Alba is one of the largest and modern aluminium smelters in the world.
