- Always keep the lights on, both
inside and outside your house, to
welcome and protect trick-or-treaters.
- Keep candles and jack-o-lanterns
away from landings and doorsteps where
costumes can brush up against the flame
and catch fire. Also, keep candles and
jack-o-lanterns away from curtains,
decorations, and other items that can
catch fire.
- Make sure that each part of your
child’s costume is flame resistant. Look
for the label “flame resistant” or
“flame retardant”.
- If your child wears a mask, make
sure that it fits properly and that the
holes are large enough for their mouth
and eyes, so that they can breath and
see properly.
- Costumes and trick-or-treat bags
should be light-colored and/or decorated
with reflective tape that will glow in
light which will make your child visible
to drivers. Reflective tape can be found
in hardware, bicycle, and sporting goods
stores.
- Costumes should fit well and not
drag on the floor, to avoid trips and
falls.
- Children should wear temperature
appropriate clothing underneath their
costume.
- Swords, knives, and other pointed
objects should be made of soft material.
- Always have an adult accompany
children while trick-or-treating.
- Remind your children not to go into
strangers’ cars or houses.
- Teach your children how to use
crosswalks and walk signals. Teach your
child to look left, right, and left
again before crossing the street.
- Children should carry flashlights,
to make sure that they can see and that
people can see them.
- Do not let your child eat any treats
until you have checked each one of them.
- Give and accept only wrapped or
packaged candy. Throw away all unwrapped
or suspicious looking candy
