sikkerhetsmessige

Sikkerhetsmessige is a Norwegian adjective used to describe something that concerns safety or safety-related aspects. It is formed from the noun sikkerhet (safety, security) and the suffix -messig, which yields meaning relating to or characterized by the stem noun.

Inflection and usage: When describing a plural noun, the form sikkerhetsmessige is used (for example, sikkerhetsmessige krav, sikkerhetsmessige forhold). In singular usage, the form is sikkerhetsmessig (et sikkerhetsmessig aspekt, en sikkerhetsmessig vurdering).

Common contexts: The term is frequent in technical, regulatory, and policy language, especially in risk assessment, safety engineering, compliance, and planning. It often precedes nouns like krav, forhold, vurdering, analyse, and tiltak to specify that they relate to safety.

Nuance and relation to other terms: Sikkerhetsmessige concerns are related to safety aspects in professional contexts, and may be distinguished from broader notions of personal security or perceived safety expressed by trygghet. In practice, though, the two concepts can be complementary. The adjective sikkerhetsmessig or its plural klare sikkerhetsmessige is mainly used in formal or written Norwegian rather than in everyday speech.
