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.
