Halloween Safety

• BEFORE TRICK-OR-TREATING
• Wear a costume that makes it easy for you to walk
  and be seen.
• Be sure that your costume is at the height to
  avoid tripping.
• It is best to make or wear a costume out of a
  non-flammable material so that it won't catch on
  fire.
• Use reflective tape on your costume so people
  driving cars at night can see you.

Halloween Safety

• Avoid hard plastic or wood props such as daggers
  or swords. Substitute with foam rubber that is
  soft and flexible.
• Carry a flashlight with you at all times.
• Try to use makeup rather than a mask, it's safer
  than a mask because you can see and breath
  easily.
• If you wear a mask, take it off before crossing a
  street.
• Keep costumed children away from pets. The pet
  may not recognize the child and become frightened
  and may attack.
