General Halloween Safety Tips

Celebrate the holiday safely

Talk about it. Sixty-five percent of parents don't discuss Halloween safety with their children. Talk with your kids and offer ways to ensure a fun and safe experience.

Walk safe. Children are more than twice as likely to be hit by a car and killed on Halloween. Discuss safety, pre-plan a route, stay on sidewalks and use crosswalks.

Shine, sparkle and glow. Eighty-two percent of parents do not use reflective tape or other high visibility aids on their child's costume. Be sure to incorporate reflective tape, glow sticks, finger lights or light-up accessories.
