Dutch term or phrase: 5-dagen laders
Again, the general context is the safety manual of the Belgian branch of an international petrochemical company.

I'm baffled.

Specific context:

5.10. Reddingsmiddelen bij werken in omgeving van diep water

Men onderscheidt:

- reddingsvest: - wordt gedragen over normale werkkledij of jas

- floating jacket: - niet ter beschikking op uitleenbasis
- uitvoering als jas

Het dragen van de redddingsvest of floating jacket is binnen een afstand van 1m van de waterkant verplicht voor XXXX medewerkers en personen die in opdracht van XXXX activiteiten uitvoeren. Dit geldt ook voor Outside Inspectors die in opdracht van derden metingen/controles verrichten.

De process offsite organisatie met uitzondering van 5-dagen laders beschikken allen over een persoonlijke reddingsvest en floating jacket.

So you can take you pick between cargo masters, loaders, marshallers, etc., but the 5-dagen is almost certainly 5/five-day shift in a Flemish setting.

Thanks, that's exactly what I have used. I tried asking the client, but that goes through an agency, and their response is 'don't worry about it, just highlight the text in the translation and we'll take care of it'. (Need I say more?)
