8 Safety Tips for Halloween Fun

Wear Reflective Gear: Make sure costumes have reflective tape or carry a flashlight to increase visibility to drivers while trick-or-treating.

Stick to Well-Lit Areas: Stay in well-lit neighborhoods and only approach homes that have their porch lights on to avoid dark, unfamiliar areas.

Check Candy Before Eating: Inspect all candy for any signs of tampering, and discard anything that isn’t in its original packaging.

Use Flame-Resistant Costumes: Ensure costumes, wigs, and accessories are flame-resistant, especially if you'll be near candles or jack-o'-lanterns.

Stay in Groups: Trick-or-treat in groups or with a trusted adult to ensure safety, especially for younger children.

Avoid Masks That Obstruct Vision: Use face paint or makeup instead of masks that may obstruct vision or make it hard to see where you’re going. –

Walk on Sidewalks: Stay on sidewalks and use crosswalks when crossing streets to avoid accidents with cars. –

Be Mindful of Costume Accessories: Ensure props like swords or wands are soft and flexible to prevent injuries while playing or running around.
