When the winds get cooler and the trees shed leaves then we know that autumn has arrived! People of all ages enjoy preparing for the last day of October, a.k.a. HALLOWEEN! Whether it’s trick-or-treating, hosting spooky parties, attending scary events or making creative costumes, many people are amused by this annual celebration.
However, with all the fun and entertainment of Halloween, it’s still possible to encounter a disaster. A friend of mine who dressed up as Batman unfortunately drank too much and disappeared during a party. None of us could trace him and he ended up waking up in a hotel lobby the next morning! This may sound funny but he was actually very lucky to be safe. Things could have been a lot worse if somebody tried to take advantage of his condition.
Therefore, it is very important to be safe at any celebration, including Halloween. Here are a few Red Cross safety tips so that you can have fun while feeling secure:
- Parents should make sure children can walk around safely in their costumes and costumes should also be flame resistant to avoid fire hazards.
- Younger children should not be left alone on their own. An adult should accompany them and be familiar with the exact route.
- People should only visit well-lit homes and never go inside.
- Parents should teach children not to eat their candy right away; parents should first check for brand names and the ingredients, especially if the child is allergic to something.
- Adults should be careful driving through neighborhoods since children could be crossing roads without carefully looking around.
