Sudden death caused by overtime is a work-related injury. If the unit arranges employees to work overtime or night shift after work, and at the same time arranges rest time, if employees suddenly die of illness at this time, they are likely to be identified as work-related injuries.

Because employees are at rest at this time, or they belong to "unproductive working hours in standby state", they also belong to the concept of "working hours".
