Haunt Your House Safely
Decorations bring Halloween to life. Make safety part of your plan by following these steps:
- Check your surroundings. You and your decorations should never be within 10 feet of a power line.
- Never attach decorations to utility poles or electrical equipment. It's not just risky – it's dangerous.
- If something does get stuck in a power line, don't touch it. Call 888-LIGHTSS and we'll get it back for you.
Before plugging in your twinkling lights or inflatable ghosts:
- Check for damaged cords. Replace any with cracks, frays or exposed wires.
- Unplug hot cords right away.
- Look for the Underwriters Laboratories (UL) tag — red means safe for indoor and outdoor use, green means indoor only.
- Use ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI) outlets to prevent shock, especially outdoors.
- Secure lights with clips. Staples and nails can damage cords.
- Choose flame-free lighting like flashlights, LED candles or glow sticks for jack-o'-lanterns and other decorations.
- Keep flammable décor (like cornstalks) away from heat or flames.
- Keep indoor lights away from curtains, carpet and furniture.
No Tricks, Just Treats on Halloween Night
Before you hit the streets in search of sweets:
- Keep pathways and entryways clear and well-lit to help prevent trips and falls.
- Include reflective material or glow sticks with costumes to help improve visibility.
- Carry a flashlight.
- Walk – don't run! Stay on the sidewalk and use crosswalks whenever possible.
- Motorists should use extra caution and look out for children crossing the street.
