Safety Tips to “Spook” Halloween Hazards Away
October 28th, 2009 Contributed by Choco
Protect your little ghosts and goblins this Halloween by following these safety tips offered by the injury prevention experts at CHOC Children’s.
- Purchase costumes that are flame-resistant and fit securely on your child; make sure they can be seen and avoid any masks that obstruct your child’s view.
- Never allow your young child to trick-or-treat without adult supervision.
- While trick-or-treating, obey all traffic signs and signals, and never cross the street between cars or mid-block. Be sure to carry a flashlight.
- Carefully inspect your child’s stash of goodies. Discard homemade treats and fruit, unless you know the person they came from.
- Keep your home safe for trick-or-treaters by removing all obstacles from the entryway.
With these tips, CHOC hopes you and your little ones enjoy a safe Halloween this Saturday!
