Tips for Halloween Safety
Halloween is the fun-filled kick off to every holiday season. A few tips can ensure that this year’s festivities are enjoyed by all!
Halloween Safety Tips
- Non-toxic face makeup is a much safer alternative to masks for children, as masks can limit site and stifle breathing. Make sure wigs don’t cover their eyes, ears or noses
- Avoid decorative contact lenses for children also
- Take extra care when carving pumpkins – don’t leave children alone with carving utensils
- Use a glow stick or flame-less candle, rather than a lit candle, for jack o’lanterns
- Accompany children under 12 while they trick or treat – make sure they know how to dial 911 in case of separation. Flashlights and a name tag with a phone number placed inside of a costume can also be helpful
- Check all treats, prior to consumption. Safely discard of anything unsealed or questionable
- Pet safety is a concern also during this holiday – keep animals away from trick-or-treaters, and also be mindful of keeping harmful food and objects out of their reach
- Traveling in groups while out on Halloween evening or night can really aid in reinforcing safety measures
Encourage your family and friends to look out for one another this holiday (including furry family!). Have a safe and Happy Halloween.
