Halloween is a time for costumes, candy and fun, but safety should always be part of the celebration.

Whether you're trick-or-treating or welcoming visitors to your home, keep these safety tips in mind:

-Check treats: Inspect children's candy before they eat it. Avoid treats with open or damaged packaging.
-Drive carefully: Slow down in neighborhoods and watch for children crossing streets.
-Stay alert: Put phones away while walking and pay attention to traffic and your surroundings.
-Prevent burns: Keep costumes and decorations away from candles, open flames and other heat sources.

Taking a few simple precautions can help prevent injuries and keep the focus on making Halloween memories.

If an accident happens and you or a loved one experiences a serious injury or medical emergency, visit your nearest HCA Florida Healthcare emergency room (ER) for care. For life-threatening emergencies, call 911: https://bit.ly/47UAswG.
