Halloween Safety Tips
- Warn children to not eat any of their treats before they get home.
- Examine all treats carefully before allowing children to eat them.
- use flame resistant costumes, masks, beards, and wigs.
- Avoid flimsy materials and outfits with big, baggy sleeves or billowing skirts to minimize the risk of contact with candles or other sources of ignition.
- Make or buy costumes that are light and bright enough to be clearly visible to motorists.
- Carry flashlights to see, and be seen, more easily.
- Costumes should be short enough to prevent children from tripping and falling.
- Hats and scarfs should be tied securely to prevent them from slipping over children's eyes.
- Apply a natural mask of cosmetics rather than have a child wear a loose fitting mask.
- Swords, knives, and similar costume accessories should be of soft or flexible material.
- Smaller children should always be accompanied by an older responsible child or an adult.
- Children should be cautioned against running out from between parked cars, or across lawns and yards where ornaments, furniture, or clothes-lines present dangers.
- Do not enter homes or apartments unless accompanied by an adult.
