Costumes Should: 
Costumes that are bright and reflective.
Shoes fit well.
Costumes are short enough to prevent tripping, entanglement or
contact with flame.
Add reflective tape or striping to costumes and Trick-or-Treat bags
for greater visibility.
Because masks can limit or block eyesight, consider non-toxic makeup
and decorative hats as safer alternatives.
When shopping for costumes, wigs and accessories, look for and
purchase only those with a label clearly indicating they are flame resistant.
Trick-or-Treaters Should:
Stay in a group.
Carry a flashlight.
Walk, don't run.
Stay on Sidewalks.
Obey traffic signals.
Remove any mask or item that will limit eyesight before crossing a
street, driveway or alley.
Stay in familiar neighborhoods.
Only go to homes with porch lights on.
Never enter a stranger's home or car for a treat.
Don't cut across yards or driveways.
Wear a watch that can be read in the dark.
No treats are to be eaten until they are thoroughly checked by an
Adult at home.
Parents Should:
A good meal prior to parties and trick-or-treating will discourage
youngsters from filling up on Halloween treats.
A Parent or responsible Adult should always accompany young children
on their neighborhood rounds.
Plan and review with your children the route and behavior which is
acceptable to you.
Agree on a specific time when revelers must return home.
Although sharing of treats is encouraged, make sure items that can
cause choking (such as hard candies), are given only to those of an
appropriate age.
Law Enforcement authorities should be notified immediately of any
suspicious or unlawful activity.
