Czech term

ostražitě

Non-PRO Czech to English Other Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc.
From a questionnaire about the co-employees' behaviour:

pracují soustředěně.
pracují se zarytostí.
pracují pozorně.
pracují ostražitě.

Discussion

Dylan Edwards Sep 10, 2004:
Is there any more context? If you're working carefully/attentively (pozorn�) on your own work, then "vigilantly" would probably mean that at the same time you're keeping an eye on what's going on around you (if that's not incompatible with pozorn�).

neutral Dylan Edwards : "work vigilantly" is a phrase used in the context of religion, trade unions, polical speeches etc. - "we as a nation must work vigilantly". Not normally used in the context of working with machinery etc.

conscientiously

Since I saw "pozorni" on your list, too, I thought you might need another adjective.

Cautiously

"Pracuji ostrazite." = They work cautiously.

From the context it is clear the meaning is related to occupational health and safety. Working "cautiously" is one of the requirements to maintain safe work practices. Any OH&S manual in english would have this term in it...
