Halloween, characterized by horror movies, costumes, and trick-or-treating, highlights the relationship between culture and public policy. On our calendars, Halloween is a special time where kids enjoy newfound freedom and concerns over safety often rise. Encouraged to knock on a stranger’s door with the threat of a “trick,” the perceived danger of children's trick-or-treating can become amplified. Tracing how this perceived danger affects prevention efforts reveals the challenges professionals in our field face when advocating for policies that promote public safety. Last year, David Prescott reviewed the complexity of public safety policies developed around this event. https://ow.ly/X7PY50TXtQ3 #Halloween #PublicSafety

Halloween: The night when even the most risk-averse among us become daring. But let's keep the risks under control, shall we? No more last-minute costume decisions involving toxic chemicals or questionable props. And please, let's avoid those ""I'm a zombie"" costumes that require too much walking around aimlessly. 🧟♂ Remember, even on Halloween, safety should be top of mind. Let's avoid those costumes that involve fire, explosives, or live animals. And let's not forget about the importance of proper lighting and visibility when trick-or-treating. A well-lit costume can help you avoid accidents and stay safe. So let's have a safe and spooky Halloween! Let's embrace the fun without taking unnecessary risks. 👻 #HalloweenSafety #RiskManagement #CostumeFail
