Halloween is upon us, you may have seen ghosts and goblins showing up around town – that means it won’t be long before Trick or Treaters are out on the town. Now is a great time to review these Halloween Safety Tips.<\/p>\n
Bring a Flashlight<\/strong> – Even though street lights and porch lights are on to light the way, an extra source of light is a great way for kids to be safe and make sure that cars and other vehicles see them coming. A regular flashlight works wonders, but so does a cell phone flashlight app. Glow sticks and glow necklaces are also a great way to keep your kid visible to traffic.<\/p>\n Go in Groups<\/strong> – Never Trick or Treat alone. Go with a group for more fun and make sure a parent goes along for added safety.<\/p>\n Sensible Shoes<\/strong> – If your kids are like most, they’re going to want to visit all the houses in the neighborhood and then some. That’s a lot of walking. Make sure they are wearing comfortable shoes to avoid blisters and having the end the night early.<\/p>\n Masks<\/strong> – Masks can be a lot of fun, but they can reduce visibility considerably. Opt for face paint instead.<\/p>\n Check Candy<\/strong> – Don’t let kids eat any candy until they are home and it has been checked out by an adult.<\/p>\n Halloween is big business and even though it falls on a Thursday this year, you can bet the bars and taverns are going to have big plans for the holiday. If you’re planning on doing Halloween at a bar or tavern – where alcohol is going to be consumed – be sure to monitor your drinks and don’t let strangers near your beverages.<\/p>\n Don’t Overindulge<\/strong> – Halloween is a lot of fun, but if you overindulge it can be a nightmare. Go easy on cocktails and drink plenty of water. You’ll feel much better the next day.<\/p>\n Use Common Sense<\/strong> – Don’t take rides from strangers, don’t Uber alone, and while you’re at it, make sure you check that the car you are getting into is really the Uber you called.<\/p>\n Go in Groups<\/strong> – It’s always more fun with a group of people – the bar or tavern is no difference and it can be much safer if you have a buddy.<\/p>\n Have a safe and Happy Halloween!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" At EBS Security of Jacksonville, FL we take security very seriously.
