Putoamisille

Putoamisille is a Finnish word form: the allative plural form of putoaminen, meaning a fall or the act of falling. It is used to indicate direction toward or the recipient of an action involving falls, and often appears in safety, health, and legal texts.

In safety literature, putoamisille often occurs with verbs or nouns that require an object in the allative, for example “putoamisille altistuminen” meaning exposure to falls, or “putoamisille altistuvien työntekijöiden mahdollisuudet” referring to workers exposed to falls. It is not a concept on its own, but a grammatical form that helps specify “to/for falls.”

Form and usage: It is formed from the noun putoaminen (the act of falling) and the allative suffix -lle in plural. The context usually clarifies whether it refers to “to falls” or “for falls”—most commonly seen in risk and prevention contexts.
