Ickearbetsrelaterade

Ickearbetsrelaterade is a Swedish term formed from icke- meaning not, and arbetsrelaterade meaning work-related. The expression describes objects, events, or conditions that do not have a relation to a person’s work or workplace. It is commonly used in medical, insurance, legal, and occupational health contexts to distinguish phenomena arising outside employment from those connected to work.

In practice, ickearbetsrelaterade is used to classify injuries, illnesses, or stressors as non-work-related. For example, a fall at home or weekend burnout is often described as icke arbetsrelaterad injury or icke arbetsrelaterad stress. The term helps guide decisions about eligibility for compensation, occupational health interventions, or research analyses that aim to separate work-related factors from unrelated ones. The spelling can vary: Swedish writers may write icke-arbetsrelaterade (hyphenated) or as a closed form like ickearbetsrelaterade, especially in digital texts.

The concept is contrasted with arbetsrelaterade, meaning work-related, which denotes outcomes attributable to occupation, work tasks, or the work environment. Readers should note that terminology usage can vary by sector or country, and some sources prefer more explicit phrasing such as “inte arbetsrelaterat” or “icke relaterat till arbete” depending on grammatical context.
