When it comes to your Halloween safety, don’t forget to check out these tips.

Halloween is almost here! It’s time to put the finishing touches on your decorations, get your kids dressed in their costumes, and buy any last minute candy as you anticipate trick-or-treaters. However, as you get caught up in all the excitement, don’t forget to think about safety. From ensuring that your kids are safe to protecting your home, there are lots of safety concerns around Halloween. Take precautions so that your Halloween runs smoothly. Check out these Halloween safety tips.

Trick-or-Treating Safety:

  • Keep your child’s safety in mind when looking for a Halloween costume. Choose a costume that can be hemmed above the ankle to avoid any tripping. Additionally, choose a costume that can easily be seen in the dark. That way you’re better able to keep any eye on your children and their risk of getting hit lowers.
  • Remind your children of stranger danger. Ensure that they know never to enter the home of a stranger while trick or treating for any reason.
  • Check your child’s candy. Toss out any open wrapper homemade pieces so that you can ensure the safety of your kids.

Home Safety:

  • Ensure your home is well lit. Keeping your home well-lit isn’t just a sign that someone is home, but it helps to keep all your guests and trick-or-treaters safe from tripping hazards as they make their way to your front door.
  • Be wary of fire danger. While candles can add to your Halloween décor, it’s important that you’re wary of fire danger. Get rid of any candles and replace them with LED candles. Additionally, keep a fire extinguisher on hand, and don’t overload any outlets. They increase your risk for a fire.
