Happy Halloween!🧡
From pumpkin carving and fancy dress to trick-or-treating, it’s one of the most exciting nights of the year — but it’s also a time when small accidents can easily happen. Whether it’s a carving slip, a costume trip, or a tumble in the dark, a little preparation goes a long way in keeping everyone safe.
We’ve put together our top 5 first aid tips for a safe Halloween to help you enjoy the night without any unwanted scares 👻
🧛♂️ Choose Safe Costumes – Make sure costumes fit properly, are flame-resistant, and don’t block vision. Avoid long hems and opt for soft, flexible props.
🎃 Pumpkin Safety with Kids – Always carve on a stable surface and supervise closely. If a cut happens, clean it gently, apply pressure, and cover it with a sterile dressing.
🌙 Be Seen After Dark – Add reflective tape or carry a torch so drivers can see you. Stick to well-lit paths and face oncoming traffic when walking.
🕯️ Keep Flames Away – Swap real candles for battery-powered LED lights and keep flames away from costumes or decorations.
🍬 Check Treats Before Eating – Make sure sweets are sealed and allergen-safe. If you’re giving treats out, avoid ones containing nuts.
Stay safe, stay seen, and have a great Halloween! 👻
