Halloween is just around the corner, and with this fun holiday comes a lot of excitement, activity, and children combing the neighborhoods looking for treats. In order to keep everyone safe, review these safety tips and have a Happy Halloween:
- Be aware of your surroundings. If it doesn’t look right, it isn’t right.
- Have children wear bright clothing, reflectors or carry light sticks so that they are easily seen by drivers. Try decorating costumes with reflective tape or stickers, if possible.
- Make sure costumes do not obstruct vision, are flame resistant, and fit well to avoid falling or tripping.
- Stay out of the street and be on the lookout for cars.
- Make sure to cross streets at corners, using traffic signals and crosswalks, and make sure to make eye contact with drivers if you need to cross in front of them.
- Drivers: Slow down on neighborhood roads and watch for kids who may be in dark clothing. Take extra time when entering or exiting driveways and alley ways.
- Kids: Trick-or-Treat with an adult or a responsible buddy.
- Only visit houses with porch lights on, and do not enter any home.
- Plan Trick-or-Treat routes ahead of time, and if children are old enough to go out on their own, make sure an adult knows where they are going to be and when they are expected back.
- Check all candy – every single piece – before allowing children to eat it. If it is unwrapped, discolored or looks funny in any way, discard it.
