HALLOWEEN is meant to be a special "TREAT" for children. However, during this annual event there are unnecessary hazards which can be avoided if a few common sense precautions are taken.


Children, to prevent traffic accidents, fire injuries, poisoned candy or food, and falls, cuts and bruises, you should do the following:

BEFORE TRICK-OR-TREATING

  • Wear a costume that makes it easy for you to walk, see and be seen.
  • Be sure your costume is short enough to avoid tripping.
  • Use reflective tape on your costume so people driving cars can see you.
  • Carry a flashlight.
  • Try to use makeup rather than a mask.
  • If you wear a mask, take it off before crossing a street.
  • Plan your trick-or-treat route ahead of time, picking streets that are well lighted.
  • Tell your family on which streets you will be trick-or-treating.
  • Have a parent, older brother or sister go with you.
  • If someone older cannot go with you, trick-or-treat with a group of children.
  • If possible, trick-or-treat while it is still light outside.
  • Cross only at corners. Never cross the street between parked cars or in the middle of the block.
  • Walk on well-lit streets and stay on the sidewalk.
  • If there is no sidewalk, stay as far left of the roadway as possible and walk facing traffic.
  • Wait until you get home to sort, check, and eat your treats.

AFTER TRICK-OR-TREATING

  • Throw away any candy or food that is not wrapped and sealed by a candy or food company.
  • Notify your parents and the police if there are any suspicious treats - treats meant to harm you.
