๐ปHALLOWEEN SAFETY TIPS๐ป
๐ Glowing jack-o-lanterns, festive decorations, spooky costumes โ Halloween offers tons of festive fun, but it does come with hidden fire dangers that can be truly scary.
๐ Plan costumes that are bright and reflective. If your child wants to be dark and spooky, decorate the outside of his costume with strips of reflective tape (which you can find in most hardware stores). Make sure the candy bag your child carries is also bright colored or trimmed in reflective tape.
๐ Make sure that shoes fit well and that costumes are short enough to prevent tripping, or entanglement. Falls are a major cause of injuries on Halloween, so it's important to make sure your child's costume fits.
๐ Secure emergency identification (name, address, phone number) discreetly within Halloween attire or on a bracelet.
๐ Obtain flashlights with fresh batteries for all children and their escorts.
๐ Plan ahead to use only battery powered lanterns or chemical light sticks in place of candles in decorations and costumes.
๐ If you're buying a costume, make sure it's labeled "flame resistant". Review with your children the principle of "Stop-Drop-Roll", should their clothes catch on fire.
๐ Take extra effort to eliminate tripping hazards on your porch and walkway. Check around your property for flower pots, low tree limbs, support wires or garden hoses that may prove hazardous to young children rushing from house to house.
๐ Learn or review CPR skills to aid someone who is choking or having a heart attack.
๐ Consider safe party guidelines when hosting an Adult or Office Party.
