Staying Safe During Halloween

Staying Safe During Halloween

To many, Halloween is the most anticipated holiday of the year. A night where you can dress up and go house to house getting candy – what’s not to love? Trick or treating is an exciting tradition, but there are a few things to remember in order to have a guaranteed safe and fun time.

It’s important to:

• Choose a costume that’s bright and reflective: make sure you and your child are visible while going out trick-or-treating. It gets very dark, and you could easily get lost among the darkness.
• Wear flame resistant costumes/accessories to prevent fires from starting.
• Only go to homes with porch lights on and never enter someone’s home.
• Always walk on the sidewalk and along a well-lit street.
• Wear well-fitting and comfortable shoes: avoid costumes that drag on the ground. This could endanger you and those around you if you fall or cause someone else to fall.
• Plan your route in advance and let someone know where you’ll be.
• Be sure masks allow full visibility and breathing.
• Walk, don’t run
• Stay hydrated while walking around.
• Use flexible props like swords and sticks. This can help prevent injuries.
