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.

ostražitě
Cautiously


Explanation:
"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...
