Työperäisiä

Työperäisiä is an inflected Finnish adjective form meaning work-related or occupational. It is the plural partitive form of työperäinen, used when referring to multiple work-related things that are not definite. The word is formed from työ, meaning work, and peräinen, a suffix indicating relation or origin.

In practical use, työperäisiä is common in discussions about occupational health, safety, and research. Typical collocations include työperäisiä sairauksia (occupational diseases), työperäisiä altistuksia (occupational exposures), tööperäisiä tekijöitä (work-related factors), and yleisemmin työperäisiä riskejä (occupational risks). It can modify nouns denoting settings, tasks, or conditions, for example työperäisiä tekijöitä, which influence the risk profile of a workplace. The term also appears in policy and legal texts to describe hazards and responsibilities related to employment.

Etymologically, työperäinen combines työ (work) with peräinen, a suffix indicating relation. The related noun form työperäisyys refers to the property or quality of being work-related.
