It is that time of year again to bring out the Halloween decorations, host parties and prepare for trick-or-treaters. In doing so, keep in mind the liability exposures associated with having visitors on your property and the precautions that need to be taken during this time for a Safe Halloween.
*Make sure driveways, sidewalks, steps and stairs are clear of any decorations or extension cords that could create a trip hazard.
*Have areas well-lit if you plan on having visitors after dark.
*Consider having battery operated candles inside jack-o-lanterns in place of candles to avoid any potential fire hazard.
*Keep your family pet away from visitors to avoid any aggressive nature that may occur.
*Use only commercially packaged treats and avoid handmade goodies.
*Secure your home to avoid any potential thefts if you plan on leaving for the evening.
*If hosting a Halloween party be sure your guests have a designated driver if needed when serving alcohol.
*If hosting a party away from home, inquire about necessary liability coverage needed.
