Here are a few safety tips can protect children who plan to go trick-or-treating this Halloween.

Treats: Warn children not to eat any treats before an adult has carefully examined them for evidence of
tampering.

Costume Designs: Purchase or make costumes that are light and bright enough to be clearly visible to
motorists.

•For greater visibility during dusk and darkness, decorate or trim costumes with reflective tape that
will glow in the beam of a car's headlights. Also, it’s a good idea for children to carry flashlights.

•Costumes should be short enough to prevent children from tripping and falling.

•Hats and scarves 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 that might
obscure vision. If a mask is used, however, make sure it fits securely and has eyeholes large
enough to allow full vision.

Pedestrian Safety: Young children should always be accompanied by an adult or an older, responsible
child. All children should WALK, not run from house to house and use the sidewalk if available, rather
than walk in the street

Choosing Safe Houses: Children should go only to homes where the residents are known and have
outside lights on as a sign of welcome.
