This project addresses significant gaps in contemporary knowledge of consumer product safety risks for older persons, with 25 years since the last Australian product safety research found older persons are at high risk of product-related injury/death. Products have evolved substantially and aged care models have changed in that time. This project generates contemporary knowledge of unsafe products causing injuries/deaths, risk factors/behaviours, and human rights issues. Outcomes benefiting the Australian community are improved prediction/characterisation of product safety issues for older Australians informing safer product design and use, targetted regulatory responses, ageing-in-place strategies, and creating safer home environments.

该项目旨在解决老年人在消费品安全风险方面的当代知识存在的重大差距，自上一次澳大利亚产品安全研究发现老年人面临与产品相关的伤害/死亡的高风险以来已有25年。产品有了很大的发展，老年护理模式也发生了变化。该项目产生了关于造成伤害/死亡的不安全产品、风险因素/行为和人权问题的当代知识。使澳大利亚社区受益的结果是改善了对澳大利亚老年人产品安全问题的预测/描述，为更安全的产品设计和使用提供信息、有针对性的监管应对措施、就地养老策略以及创造更安全的家庭环境。
