Dutch term or phrase: werkpostfiche
Hi all

I am translating a contract template for companies recruiting temporary skilled and unskilled workers in various sectors. The term above came up in the following context:

'U dient ons de werkpostfiches te bezorgen van de posten die door onze uitzendkrachten worden ingenomen, alvorens zij het werk aanvatten.'

I would appreciate any advice on how to translate this. Thank you.

Explanation:
The document linked here uses "job file" concurrent with the Dutch translation "werkpostfiche": http://tinyurl.com/3pk2za5

I think that's fine.

From reviewing the randstad's website (the big powerhouse of contracting out temp services), the werkpostfiche on their site looks to me more like a "worksite information form" or risk disclosure form.

Many universities use "worksite forms" where information is disclosed about work undertaken as an intern or student.

workplace checklist / workplace specification sheet


Explanation:
of iets dergelijks?
Het is in ieder geval een formulier dat vrij veel informatie bevat, en voor mijn gevoel dus meer dan een 'index card'.

http://www.meta.fgov.be/defaultTab.aspx?id=2632

“(…) een nauwkeurige omschrijving moet geven van de verlangde beroepskwalificatie en de specifieke kenmerken van de in te nemen werkpost, evenals van het resultaat van de aan de uit te voeren taak verbonden risico-evaluatie.
Die informatie moet verstrekt worden voor elke werkpost en voor elke uitzendkracht via de overeenkomst tussen de gebruiker en het uitzendbureau (artikel 17 van de wet van 24 juli 1987 betreffende de tijdelijke arbeid en de uitzendarbeid).”

Voor uitleg en links naar voorbeelden zie o.m.:
http://www.werk.belgie.be/werkpostfiche.aspx

Zie ook http://www.safestart.be/nl/rights_duty/apprentice/document/C...

“Een werkpostfiche is een document waarin de werkgever-stagegever de relevante informatie inzake welzijn aan de stagiair en de onderwijsinstelling meedeelt om hen te informeren aangaande de uit te voeren taken, de aanwezige risico's tijdens de stage, en de te nemen preventiemaatregelen.”

De K.U. Leuven noemt het een ‘workplace checklist’: http://www.google.be/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=17&ved=0CD0QFjAG...

de Leuven Engineering School heeft het over een ‘work post sheet for interns’: https://my.groupt.be/media/ENG-Werkpostfiche-EN.pdf

ik vond ook voorbeelden van ‘workstation sheet’, maar ik associeer workstation zelf meer met computers.

  -> Dank!
agree  Tina Vonhof (X): I would go with 'specification sheet' or just 'specifications'. Work post is a (too) literal translation and a work station is your work area (desk, computer, etc.). // Yes of course, I meant 'specification sheet' instead of 'checklist'.

  -> Thanks Tina. I would include 'workplace' though.// Ah - agreed ;-)
