Halloween


Halloween is a time for celebration, but it also comes with certain risks that can lead to personal injury. Some common Halloween hazards include tripping and/or slipping and falling, burns, and motor vehicle accidents. Here are some Halloween safety tips:

1. Prevent Slips, Trips, and Falls

  • Wear Proper Clothing: Choose comfortable shoes and avoid costumes that obstruct your view.
  • Clear Walkways: Homeowners should remove tripping hazards from paths.
  • Use a Flashlight: Carry a flashlight to help navigate in the dark.

2. Ensure Pedestrian Safety

  • Practice Safe Walking: Always use crosswalks and avoid jaywalking.
  • Be Visible: Wear bright costumes or reflective materials to stand out.
  • Supervise Kids: Keep an eye on younger children while they trick-or-treat.
  • Have your child wear a glow stick.

3. Avoid Burn Accidents

  • Use Battery-Operated Lights and Candles: These create a spooky atmosphere with a reduced risk of fire.
  • Choose Flame-Resistant Costumes: Ensure costumes are made from safe materials.
  • Mind Your Placement: If they absolutely need to be used, keep open flames away from foot traffic and never leave them unattended.

4. Prioritize Visibility

  • Wear Bright Costumes: Opt for brightly coloured outfits or add reflective tape.
  • Carry Flashlights: Equip children with flashlights or glow sticks for better visibility.
  • Avoid Impairing Masks: Use face paint instead of masks to ensure clear vision
