The event which kicked off today (April 26) will conclude tomorrow (April 27).

Held under the patronage of Bahrain’s Deputy Premier Shaikh Khalid bin Abdulla Al Khalifa, this event is organised by the Ministry of Labour and Social Development in collaboration with the Occupational Safety and Health Council.

Alba’s acting chief operations officer Amin Sultan and acting manager of safety, health and environment Mohd. Khalil Saeed attended the opening ceremony, said a statement from the company.
