Halloween Safety Tips

Parents or Guardians

• Always accompany any and all minors.

• Instruct children to travel in familiar, well lit areas.

• Put a name tag with your name and number on your children.

Dressing Your Goblins

• All costumes, wigs and accessories should be fire-resistant.

• Add reflective tape to your kids costume or Trick-or-Treat bags, or give them glow sticks for better visibility.

• Use non-toxic make-up and always test it on a small portion of your kids skin first. Always take make-up off before bed.

• Make sure the costumes and masks are fitted properly to avoid blocked vision, trips, and falls.

Home Owners

• Remove any trip hazards in your yard and surrounding your porch.

• Keep porch and walkway well lit.

• Use glow sticks or other LED lights instead of candles in your jack-o-lanterns.

• Keep pets restrained. Even the nicest pets can get scared and overwhelmed by the doorbell and kids.

Motorists

• Pay extra close attention when driving through residential areas.

• Slow down while in town.

• Always remember the hands free law.

Have a Safe and Fun Halloween!
