Promote Safety this Halloween with Custom Lapel Pins

October is Halloween Safety Month.  Your business, organization or school can do its part to protect children by making safety an issue that is talked about heavily prior to the 31st.  One of the things you can do is advocate for safer streets and better trick-or-treating safety measures. Use Custom Pins to Educate Children and Parents in Your Community You can remind children and parents to place safety at the forefronts of their minds with a creative custom lapel pin design.  We can help you determine the size, shape, style, and colors of pins that would be the most enticing for the children in your community or classroom. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend the following tips for a safe and happy Halloween:

• S. Swords, knives, and similar costume accessories should be short, soft, and flexible.
• A. Avoid trick-or-treating alone.  Walk in groups or with a trusted adult.
• F. Fasten reflective tape to costumes and bags to help drivers see you.
• E. Examine all treats for choking hazards and tampering before eating them.  Limit the amount of treats you eat.
• H. Hold a flashlight while trick-or-treating to help you see and others see you.  Always WALK and don’t run from house to house.
• A. Always test make-up in a small area first.  Remove it before bedtime to prevent possible eye irritation.
• L. Look both ways before crossing the street.  Use established crosswalks wherever possible.
• L. Lower your risk for serious eye injury by not wearing decorative contact lenses.
• O. Only walk on sidewalks whenever possible, or on the far edge of the road facing traffic to stay safe.
• W. Wear well-fitting masks, costumes, and shoes to avoid blocked vision, trips, and falls.
• E. Eat only factory-wrapped treats.  Avoid eating homemade treats made by strangers.
• E. Enter homes only if you’re with a trusted adult.  Only visit well-lit houses.  Don’t stop at dark houses.  Never accept rides from strangers.
• N. Never walk near lit candles or luminaries.  Be sure to wear flame-resistant costumes.
