French term or phrase: dossiers d'analyses de risques et d'actions
Hi everyone,

I'm translating a job description and I'm having trouble seeing how a sentence fits together. The sentence describes one of the tasks the engineering role involves:

- Etablir les dossiers d'analyses de risques et d'actions lié aux projets

I'm a bit confused by the multiple 'de's since it's hard to see how the sentence fits together, and I am also unsure why 'lié' is singular - I guess the sentence refers to 'les dossiers d'analyses de risques' and 'les dossiers d'actions' (rather than 'dossiers d'analyses d'actions). Here is my attempt:

'Establish risk analysis files and action files relating to projects'

Any suggestions for a better translation for 'action files'? It doesn't sound great to me! Any help would be appreciated :)

Thank you!
Abigail

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks for your answer! I definitely think 'operations' is a good term in this case - I have gone with 'risk and operations analysis files'


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  writeaway: would also be helpful to see refs backing the translation and not just refs showing the existence of the English/maybe they will show up if checked individually?
1 hr
  -> That is a good point. The problem is that this does not seem to be a standard term in French. Indeed, it's even possible they mean analyses de risques et d'actions de prévention. I probably should have put a lower confidence level.
neutral  Sheri P: "dossier d'analyse" *is* a standard term in FR. See refs. in my answer.
4 hrs
  -> Of course "dossier d'analyse" is a standard FR term. However, the rest of the Asker's term is not! Your answer fails to look at the entire term posted in its context.

business cases on risks and actions


Explanation:
"dossier d'analyse" is often translated as "business case" in EN

http://www.btb.termiumplus.gc.ca/tpv2alpha/alpha-eng.html?la...

http://www.linguee.fr/francais-anglais/traduction/dossier d&...

A business case captures the reasoning for initiating a project or task. It is often presented in a well-structured written document, but may also sometimes come in the form of a short verbal argument or presentation...Business cases can range from comprehensive and highly structured, as required by formal project management methodologies, to informal and brief. Information included in a formal business case could be the background of the project, the expected business benefits, the options considered (with reasons for rejecting or carrying forward each option), the expected costs of the project, a gap analysis and the expected risks.

Perhaps you could phrase it along the lines of "business cases on project-related risks and activities"
