Ohutusealase

Ohutusealase is an Estonian adjective meaning safety-related. It is used to describe topics, documents, or analyses that pertain to safety. The term is formed from the noun ohutus (safety) with the suffix -alane/-alase, which yields adjectives indicating relation to the stated domain. The form ohutusealase is typically used when the adjective modifies a following noun in a case that requires a genitive-like form, for example in phrases such as ohutusealase teabe jagamine or ohutusealase regulatsiooni järgimine.

In practice, ohutusealase is found in formal, regulatory, and professional language. It often appears in government or industry texts, compliance documents, risk assessments, and academic writing dealing with safety topics. Common collocations include ohutusealane teave (safety-related information), ohutusalane regulatsioon (safety-related regulation), and ohutusealane analüüs (safety-related analysis). The word can be contrasted with more general terms like ohutus or turvalisus, with ohutusalane narrowly focusing on aspects connected to safety concerns within a particular context.

Etymologically, ohutusealase is built from ohutus plus the suffix that conveys relation to a domain. As with many Estonian compound adjectives, its exact form and inflection depend on the case and number of the head noun. While widely understood in Estonian-language regulatory and technical discourse, the term is not a standalone dictionary entry in all contexts and may vary slightly in usage across different domains.
