🎃 Safe Trick-or-Treating Tips Brought to you by Brock Safety Consultants — Saving lives, one heartbeat at a time.
🧙♀️ Costume Safety
Choose bright or reflective costumes to improve visibility at night.
Avoid long capes or trailing fabric that could cause trips or falls.
Use non-toxic face paint instead of masks that obstruct vision.
Attach emergency contact info to your child’s costume or treat bag.
🚶 Street Smarts
Always walk on sidewalks and cross streets at corners or crosswalks.
Carry flashlights or glow sticks to stay visible to drivers.
Stay in groups and keep younger children with a trusted adult.
Avoid distractions — no texting or headphone use while walking.
🍬 Candy Safety
Inspect all treats before eating. Discard anything unwrapped, homemade (unless from someone you know), or suspicious.
Watch out for choking hazards like hard candy, gum, and small toys — especially for kids under 4.
Keep LifeVac nearby — over 12,000 children are treated annually for food-related choking.
Limit snacking while walking to avoid distracted eating and choking risks.
🏠 Home Safety for Hosts
Keep walkways clear and well-lit. Remove tripping hazards like hoses, decorations, or uneven steps.
Use LED candles in jack-o’-lanterns to prevent fire risks.
Secure pets indoors to avoid accidental bites or escapes.
🧡 Emergency Preparedness
Have a first aid kit and AED accessible if hosting a party or large gathering.
Know basic CPR and choking rescue techniques.
Consider a LifeVac device for fast, non-invasive choking response — available from Brock Safety Consultants with Halloween delivery.
