Yes it’s that time of year where all the little and not so little ghost and goblins beg for candy. I ran across some safety tips from the Consumer Product Safety Commission and I thought I would pass them on to you.
Halloween Safety – In 3 Steps
- Prevent Fires & Burns
Select flame-retardant materials when buying or making costumes and accessories. Choose battery-operated candles and lights instead of open-flame candles.
2. See & Be Seen
Trim costumes and outerwear in reflective tape. Carry flashlights or glow sticks when trick –or treating after dusk.
3. Fit for Safety
Adjust costumes to ensure a good fit. Long skirts or capes can drag on the ground and cause falls. Secure hats, scarves and masks to ensure adequate visibility.
Special thanks to Will and Michelle from our IT department. While trying to post this my computer received a virus, a call for help was placed and I received an immediate response and a repair that took longer than I anticipated
