Dutch term
AANWEZIG (van een ding)
Dutch to English
Bus/Financial
Business/Commerce (general)
company rules
An informative Dutch text on company rules for employees/contractors etc. stating that a specific document (inspection certificate) 'moet AANWEZIG zijn op het toestel' (in this case, the 'toestel' is an aerial work platform).
I believe that TO BE PRESENT can only be used for people. And I think 'TO BE AVAILABLE' does not necessarily mean the document is with the platform, it might be somewhere in an office...? Does anyone have a suggestion? Maybe I should use AT HAND? Many thanks!

I tend to use this.
The certificate must be kept at/with the aerial work platform.

Although philgoddard makes a valid point I don't think it applies in this context. Usually you have 3 things with heavy equipment, a label (on display that usually tells you when the next inspection is due), a certificate and a manual (these last two are the ones that are usually kept with the equipment somewhere accessible). The certificate often comes with a logbook of some kind in which the operator can record any incidents relating to the equipment so that the inspector can see what has happened with the equipment when he inspects again.

: I think this is better than "kept with". It would surely be placed on display, like a lift/elevator inspection certificate, not hidden away in a box somewhere.
