abstract="In high income countries, children under 15 years of age are exposed to workplace hazards when they visit or live on worksites or participate in formal or informal  work. This study describes the causes and circumstances of unintentional child  work-related fatal injuries (child WRFI) in New Zealand. Potential cases were  identified from the Mortality Collection using International Classification of  Disease external cause codes: these were matched to Coronial records and reviewed  for work-relatedness. Data were abstracted on the socio-demographic, employment and  injury-related circumstances. Of the 1335 unintentional injury deaths in children  from 1999 through 2014, 206 (15%) were identified as dying from a work-related  injury: 9 workers and 197 bystanders-the majority involving vehicle crashes or being  stuck by moving objects in incidents occurring on farms or public roads. Those at  highest risk were males, preschoolers, and those of Māori or European ethnicity. Work made a notable contribution to the burden of unintentional fatal injury in  children with most deaths highly preventable, largely by adult intervention and  legislation. To address the determinants of child WRFI greater attention on rural  farm and transport settings would result in a significant reduction in the injury  mortality rates of New Zealand children.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
