B.E.L. Spruces Up Pedestrian Crossing for Safety Week

Across the country, several teams made up of employees from Belize Electricity Limited were out in the streets painting pedestrian crossings in several municipalities, including Belize City.  The utility company has been observing safety week and, as part of its itinerary, has been doing its part to ensure the safety of pedestrians.  Kadie Usher is B.E.L.’s Health and Environment Coordinator.

“So we’re out here doing pedestrian painting.  We’ve been doing it in Dangriga, yesterday.  We’ve been in San Ignacio and in Orange Walk.  Today we were in Belize City on Coney Drive.  It’s part of our safety week activities.  Annually, B.E.L. puts aside a week for safety and health and this year, our focus is on road safety.  It’s B.E.L. giving back to the community in making the area safe for the road users.  As a responsible corporate citizen, we believe that we should play our role in making the country a little safer for everybody.  We also practice safe driving and so it is just natural for us to do this as well, to make the area safe for pedestrians.”
