Halloween is a fun night for kids and families, but a few simple safety steps can help keep everyone protected while out collecting candy. Mid-Atlantic Propane Exchange wants to share these helpful reminders for a safe and enjoyable evening.
Safety Tips for Trick-or-Treaters
- Stay Visible — Wear reflective clothing or attach reflective tape to costumes and treat bags so drivers can easily see you.
- Use Sidewalks — Walk on sidewalks whenever possible. If none are available, walk facing traffic and stay as far to the side as you can.
- Cross Safely — Look both ways before crossing the street, and cross only at corners or crosswalks.
- Travel in Groups — Kids should trick-or-treat with a trusted adult or in a group. Younger children should always be accompanied by an adult.
- Choose Safe Costumes — Make sure costumes fit properly and do not restrict vision or movement. Avoid long trailing fabric that could cause trips.
- Check Treats — Have an adult inspect all candy before eating. Discard any unwrapped or suspicious items.
- Stay Alert — Put phones away while walking, and stay aware of your surroundings at all times.
- Plan Your Route — Stick to well-lit neighborhoods and familiar streets. Let someone know your planned path and expected return time.
Have a Safe and Happy Halloween
A little preparation helps ensure the night stays fun for everyone. Enjoy the costumes, the candy, and the community spirit — and stay safe out there!
