Halloween is a fun time of the year when many young people enjoy dressing in costumes, carving pumpkins and trick-or-treating. However, the evening of Halloween can prove to be fraught with safety hazards from slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall accidents. This year, Halloween falls on a Friday. Many children and adults can enjoy staying out later than usual since it is the start of the weekend. But, it also calls for more caution as families with little trick-or-treaters or eager partygoers hit the streets.
Tips for Halloween Safety
Here are a few tips for property owners and drivers, which could help make Halloween safe, injury-free and enjoyable for all:
• Drivers should be extra careful while backing out of driveways. Distracted or impaired driving should be avoided.
• Drivers should stick to speed limits and drive slower in residential neighborhoods where trick-or-treaters may be present.
• If you are a property owner and are welcoming trick-or-treaters, make sure you have adequate lighting in your porch.
• Make sure your walkway or driveway is clear of debris and other tripping hazards.
• If you have any broken stairs, fix them or put yellow, caution tape to alert visitors about the hazard.
