title: [Nocturnal accidents in quinquennium 2002-2006].
abstract: The incidence of nocturnal work accidents were examined using the data bank of Italian Workers Compensation Authority. Analysis carried out leads us to conclude that the nocturnal accidents are not more frequent than the total events. Finally nocturnal events are more dangerous and the frequency of fatal accidents in the night is higher if it is compared to that of diurnal period.
