Neo's Haunted House Halloween Safety Tips



Have a Safe and Happy Halloween
Make sure young children are accompanied by an adult or responsible teenager when they go door-to-door.
If children are going to be out after dark, make sure they carry a flashlight.
If you can't accompany your children, instruct them to trick-or-treat in their own neighborhood and in well-lighted streets.
Know which friends your children will be with and which route they are taking.
Leave your porch light on so children will know it's OK to visit your home.
Teach your children to use the sidewalks if they can. If there are no sidewalks, walk on the left side of the street facing cars.
Instruct children never to eat anything until they are home and the treats have been carefully examined. Cut and wash fruit before eating. Throw away anything unwrapped. Check the wrappers of commercial treats for evidence of tampering. Call the police if there are any suspicious treats.
Keep your pets indoors.


Trick or Treat

Costume safety
Look for the label Flame Resistant.
Choose costumes that are light and bright enough to be visible to motorists.
Costumes should be short enough to prevent children from tripping.
Avoid costumes with big, baggy sleeves or billowing skirts.
Children should wear well-fitting, sturdy shoes. High heels are not a good idea.
A natural mask of cosmetics is better than a loose-fitting mask that might restrict breathing or obscure vision.
Hats and scarfs should be tied securely to prevent them from slipping over children's eyes.
Sword, knives, and similar costume accessories should be of soft and flexible material.
Decorate costumes and treat bags with reflective tape.
