Halloween Safety Tips for Costumes and Vision
When in costume, kids should wear hats that do not cover the eyes and makeup instead of masks to keep vision clear. Choose flame resistant fabrics with no baggy sleeves or long skirts that could brush a flame, add reflective tape, and wear comfortable shoes with no high heels for easy walking.
Halloween Safety Tips for Trick-or-Treaters
When trick-or-treating stay in familiar neighborhoods and walk with an adult. Do not enter houses unless permitted. Carry names and a contact number, visit well-lit homes, finish before dark, and carry a flashlight. Stay to the left with traffic, avoid gaps between cars, and have treats checked by an adult.
