Be Safe and Be Seen
Vulcan Materials, local schools and police partner to keep children safe and seen.
October 22, 2007 - As children anxiously await Halloween night, Vulcan Materials Company Lisbon Quarry has joined forces with the Kendall County Sheriff's Office and Lisbon Grade School on a "Be Safe, Be Seen this Halloween" campaign to help local parents and children ensure the night is fun and safe for everyone.
"Our commitment to safety is a communitywide commitment," said Don Theobald, Plant Manager, Vulcan Materials Company. "Our unique partnership with neighborhood schools and law enforcement works to better prepare our community for this exciting night."
Vulcan has donated safety glow sticks and safety flyers to be distributed to children and parents in the area. Local police, who will be out in full force Halloween night, urge motorists to slow down and maintain extra caution whenever children are present, especially on this night.
"An important part of protecting our trick-or-treaters is making them easier to see," said Deputy Wayne Dial, Public Information Officer for the Kendall County Sheriff's Office. "We all have a responsibility to get the entire community involved in child safety, and thank Vulcan and our schools for working with us."
Safety experts remind parents there are several simple points to take into consideration before their children go trick-or-treating. Halloween safety tips include safe costume design, knowing their child's route, and waiting until their child gets home to eat any treats.
"Safety education is an important part of what we do at our schools," said Michael Rustman, Superintendent of Lisbon Grade School. "Our partnership with Vulcan and law enforcement helps us accomplish this very important mission."
Rustman also encourages parents to be more aware this season by following the safety precautions and guidelines being distributed through the partnership.
Additional tips by the National Safety Council include:
- Teaching children to travel only in familiar areas, along an established route.
- Setting a return time.
- Pinning emergency contact information inside your child's pocket.
- Discarding any opened or suspicious treats.
- Selecting costumes and bags or sacks with light-colored materials.
- Adding reflective tape to costumes and bags.
