We here at the ECPL wish you all to have a Safe Halloween.
 |
Swords, knives, and similar costume accessories should be short, soft, and flexible. |
 |
Avoid trick-or-treating alone. Walk in groups or with a trusted adult. |
 |
Fasten reflective tape to costumes and bags to help drivers see you. |
 |
Examine all treats for choking hazards and tampering before eating them. Limit the amount of treats you eat. |
 |
Hold a flashlight while trick-or-treating to help you see and others see you. Always WALK and don't run from house to house. |
|
Always test make-up in a small area first. Remove it before bedtime to prevent possible skin and eye irritation. |
 |
Look both ways before crossing the street. Use established crosswalks wherever possible. |
|
Lower your risk for serious eye injury by not wearing decorative contact lenses. |
 |
Only walk on sidewalks whenever possible, or on the far edge of the road facing traffic to stay safe. |
 |
Wear well-fitting masks, costumes, and shoes to avoid blocked vision, trips, and falls. |
|
Eat only factory-wrapped treats. Avoid eating homemade treats made by strangers. |
|
Enter homes only if you're with a trusted adult. Only visit well-lit houses. Don't stop at dark houses. Never accept rides from strangers. |
 |
Never walk near lit candles or luminaries. Be sure to wear flame-resistant costumes. |
