Halloween Tips from BBIMI!
Everyone loves a good Halloween scare, but not when it comes to safety. Saturday, trick-or-treaters will be out haunting the neighborhoods, and here at BB Insurance, we want to make sure that you have a safe and happy Halloween. Parents and drivers should take extra care in safeguarding children. Low visibility and heavy pedestrian traffic can make Halloween a bit “tricky”, but these safety tips can help keep this holiday a “treat”:
Avoid Open Flames: Instead of real candles use LED tea lights or lights sticks to light up your Jack-o-Lanterns and to illuminate the driveway. Trick-or-treaters can easily knock over candles, injure themselves and potentially start a fire.
Confine Your Pets: For the safety of your pets and your guests, keep them away from your front door or areas where they might jump on or bite unfamiliar visitors.
Create A Clear Path and Keep Your Lights On: Keep walkways and other areas around your home clear of obstructions and well lit so visitors don’t stumble and injure themselves.
Practice Indoor Safety: Hosting a Halloween party for adults this year? Check your smoke alarms to ensure they’re in good working order. Keep decorations like crepe paper away from open flames.
Think Before You Serve: Remember, YOU are responsible for the safety of guests visiting your home. Serve non-alcoholic beverages to your adult party guests and offer only commercially-packaged treats to trick-or-treaters. Check your homeowners coverage to make sure you are adequately covered for potential claims and lawsuits.
Assure Your Home Security: Won’t be home on Halloween? Don’t forget to set your security alarm system before heading out. This is a prime time of year for vandalism and burglaries. Be sure to activate motion sensitive lights and alert your neighbors that you will be away.
