**5. Conclusions**

This study found that work makes a notable contribution to the total burden of fatal injury in children. Most child WRFI are highly preventable, largely by adult intervention and enforcement of workplace health and safety legislation. Greater attention on managing work-related risks for children, particularly in rural farm and transport settings, would result in a significant reduction in the injury mortality rates of New Zealand children.
