During the early morning hours of 4:01 to 8:00, falls to the same level were also a leading cause of workplace injuries or illnesses.

During the nighttime hours of midnight to 8:00 a.m., 16 percent of workplace injuries or illnesses occurred. Intentional injury by a person makes up 4 percent of the injuries or illnesses between the hours of midnight and 4:00 a.m.
