Tips To Prevent Trick Or Treating Injuries


Halloween is a time for scary stories, fun costumes and of course lots and lots of treats. It can also be dangerous as well. Traveling at night, attending dark haunted houses and of course trick-or-treating can leave participants in these activities vulnerable to potential risks. Many children in Georgia trick-or-treat on their own without any adult supervision. It is up to all of us to try and keep them as safe as possible. Here are a few tips to help prevent trick or treating injuries:

HAVE YOUR HOME WELL LIT: Your little visitors need to see where they are going. Be sure to provide them with a clear, fully lit pathway to your front door.

DON’T DRIVE UNLESS NECESSARY: Cars traveling down the same roads that young trick or treaters are walking along adds extra risks. Many costumes can be hard to see at night, so it is best to do any necessary travel before or after trick or treating hours if at all possible. 

DRESS YOUR TRICK OR TREATER APPROPRIATELY: If you are sending your trick or treater out on Halloween, be sure they have a flashlight, clothing that fits well, shoelaces are tightly laced and that their costume has some bright colors on it. You want to be sure tripping hazards are minimized and visibility is maximized. 

We hope you have a safe and fun-filled Halloween. We hope these trick or treating safety tips help. Happy Halloween from The Foster Firm team!
