Abstrakt: A set of cases concerning child injury is described in which there are several human factors/ergonomics (HFE) issues. Each panelist describes an injury or death of a child with a brief overview of the events that occurred. Major HFE issues are presented and discussed using the framework of the hazard-control hierarchy of designing out, guarding against, and warning about hazards. Consideration is not only given to children but also caretakers in the design of useable and safe products. A secondary purpose of the panel is to discuss interest in forming a special interest or technical group on children’s HFE issues.
