Our Product

Aluminium is one of the world's most useful metals. It is long lasting, versatile and used across a range of everyday needs, from transport and construction, to packaging and electronics. Aluminium is commonly used to make drink cans, car parts, boats, sporting equipment, building materials and door frames. Aluminium is light-weight, rust-resistant, and can be easily recycled.

Health & Safety

BSL operates under the safety principle – “The Goal is Zero” which aims to create a workplace free from incidents and injuries.

We are committed to a safety culture that is grounded on the belief that all incidents and injuries are preventable and that each employee is entitled to a safe work environment.

Improvements have been made to safety performance via a number of initiatives including the Take 5 (pre-task hazard assessment process), safety interactions, increased focus on the application of work standards, and the recognition and communication of safety incidents and improvements.

In 2011 BSL achieved its best ever safety performance and matched this in 2012.

Environment & People

BSL aims to achieve environmental best practice by minimising waste, emissions and impacts associated with our activities through implementing effective mitigation and management strategies.
