Aluminium Bahrain B.S.C. (Alba) has officially launched its annual Ramadan Safety Campaign, placing employee wellbeing and responsible workplace practices at the forefront during the holy month.
The initiative was inaugurated on 24 February 2026 by the company’s chief executive officer, Ali Al Baqali, at Oasis Hall, in the presence of senior executives, managers and employees from across the plant. Branded under the theme ‘Five Star Safety, One Spirit of Ramadan’, the campaign will run throughout Ramadan and is designed to reinforce Alba’s long-standing safety culture while recognising the unique rhythms of the month.
Company officials said this year’s programme aims to promote mindful behaviour, healthy routines and a balanced approach to professional and personal life. With fasting and altered schedules potentially affecting energy levels and concentration, the campaign focuses on supporting staff to maintain safe performance standards while prioritising overall wellbeing.
A series of activities has been organised to engage employees across departments and shifts. These include in-person lectures and online webinars delivered by both internal specialists and external experts. Topics range from workplace safety and occupational health to nutrition advice and the reduction of food waste, aligning practical guidance with the values of Ramadan.
Management teams will also conduct site visits to operational areas during the month. These visits are intended to strengthen communication between leadership and frontline staff, encourage dialogue around safety concerns and reinforce safe behaviours in day-to-day operations. By maintaining a visible presence across the plant, Alba aims to ensure consistent safety standards regardless of shift patterns.
In a notable move, the 2026 campaign is being led entirely by women employees, underlining their contribution to the company’s safety and cultural initiatives. Alba said the decision highlights the important role women play in shaping and sustaining a proactive safety environment within the organisation.
The Ramadan Safety Campaign forms part of Alba’s broader commitment to embedding health and safety into every aspect of its operations. By combining technical guidance with awareness of physical and mental wellbeing, the company seeks to ensure that productivity and care for employees go hand in hand.
As one of Bahrain’s largest industrial employers, Alba continues to position safety as a shared responsibility, particularly during periods when routine working patterns shift. The campaign’s blend of education, engagement and leadership visibility is intended to reinforce a unified approach to safe and responsible practices both inside and outside the workplace.
