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.
