<abstract displayLabel="Summary">The purpose of this study was to describe antecedents and characteristics of same level fall injuries. Fall incidents and costs were compiled from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and other sources from 20062010. This study indicated that over 29% of fall on same level injuries resulted in 31 or more workdays lost. The major source of injury was floors, walkways or ground surfaces, and the most affected body parts were the lower extremities and the trunk. With regard to gender and age, female workers had the highest risk of falls, while advancing age coincided with an increase in incidence rates. Overall, workers in the healthcare and social assistance industry, the transportation and warehousing industry, and the accommodation and food services industry had the highest risk for fall on same level injuries. Furthermore, the overall compensation cost increased by 25% from 20062009. Along with existing evidence, these results may facilitate the design and implementation of preventative measures in the workplace and potentially reduce fall-related compensation costs.</abstract>
