Spanish term or phrase: laboral
Se trata de la clasificación de accidentes dentro de un plan de prevención de riesgos laborales. Existen sólo dos categorias:

-Laboral: Aquel que ocurre dentro del horario de trabajo.
-In itínere: Aquel que ocurre en el trayecto entre el trabajo y el hogar o viceversa.

Mi primera intención fue traducirlo como "occupational", pero desistí porque el accidente "in itinere" también es considerado un accidente laboral. Podría ser "on-site"??? Mi duda es que pasa por ejemplo en el caso de los empleados que ya están en horario de trabajo pero tiene que desplazarse a otras instalciones de la compañia o viajar, pero no desde su casa al trabajo. Podría usarse "on-site" en estos casos?

Gracias por su ayuda!

workplace


Explanation:
In this specific context I would use workplace.

Health and safety in the workplace etc etc.

But "riesgos laborales" is occupational hazards.

Con el fin de distinguir en cada caso.

agree  Muriel Vasconcellos: In this context, I prefer your solution. I'd use a hyphen with 'work-related'.

agree  Gilla Evans: yes, work-related if pre-nominal. Often "accidents at work" too, as you say.
