Halloween Safety

Halloween is one of the most anticipated holidays throughout the area for adults and children alike. Local authorities offer the following safety tips for children, adults and motorists to help ensure a safe and happy Halloween for all. Safety Tips for Children: • Purchase costumes that are made of flame retardant material. Avoid materials such as lightweight cotton fabrics that are easily ignited. • Make sure hemlines are short enough to prevent tripping or contact with flame. • Use light colored material and reflective tape on costumes for maximum visibility. • Plan a well-lit route for young children to use while trick-or-treating. Return home early. • Closely inspect all candy before allowing children to eat it. Discard any unwrapped treats from a stranger. If in doubt, throw it out. • Do not allow children to carry sharp sticks or other objects that could cause injury. Safety Tips for Adults: • Have non-alcoholic drinks available for guests if you have a party at your house. • Arrange for a designated driver for those who are drinking alcohol. • Take the keys from anyone that may be drinking. • Never serve alcohol to people under 21. Safety Tips for Motorists: • Be aware of children darting out between parked vehicles. • Do not pass other vehicles that have stopped in the roadway. • Be alert when driving through intersections. • Never assume a pedestrian approaching the roadway will yield to your vehicle. Be sure that small children use battery operated flashlights and are under supervision at all times. This is also a great time to buy fresh batteries for your home smoke detectors.
