Morphology
occupational = occupation (transparent) = occupy + ation + al
The adjective is transparently formed from 'occupation' with the common suffix '-al'.
Etymology
The word occupational comes from the common verb occupy, which means 'to take up' or 'to hold', and from occupation, the thing that takes up your time—your 'job'. So occupational describes things connected to your work, like training or risks on the job.
