Regulators" are technicians in an air operation whose main activity is scheduling, i.e. the assignment of tasks to resources. The aim of this paper is to present this scheduling activity from the perspective of a multifaceted mediation between conflicting objects (health and production, multiple temporalities and top-down and bottom-up prescriptions). The results show the extent and diversity of health events that regulators combine with production imperatives and integrate into work organization, as well as the complexity of the mediations carried out and the inclusion of criteria in multiple temporalities (relating to agents, collectives and management). However, this primary health prevention is subject to conditions and is diminished in the context of dyschronicity between increasingly rapid flows of change, which then weakens the agents' careers.

The literature on the activity of the driving instructor suggests the presence of an effective dual task, including a management of the driving environment and a training activity (Vidal-Gomel & Rogalski, 2009). The study presented in this paper aims to understand how the complexity of the road environments would impact the activity carried out in the training task. So, we compared two types of environments (i.e., «complex environment» and «non-complex environment») in relation to three components of the Instructor's training activity (i.e., execution activities, relational activities and correction activities). The main results show that the driving instructor prefers to implement a specific component of the teaching activity, depending on the type of environment encountered in the driving lesson.

The workload in the cockpit is an important topic for the aircraft manufacturer, must ensure that the pilot's workload remains at an acceptable level in any situation. The purpose of this work was to create a tool to assess the pilot's workload which being usable in a research steps, when no means of prototyping is still available. This tool is so far focused on the workload in a context of system failure. The several steps of this work were: (i) Literature review of the notion of workload; (ii) Analysis of the pilot's task in a failure situation; (iii) Definition of the workload criteria resulting from the analysis; (iv) Review of a set of criteria and their criticality levels. The second part of this work is still on going and criteria will be tested and assessed the according a wider range of failures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Learning the professional culture systematically involves the presence of language within professional situations: understanding of work instructions, safety warnings, explanations and justifications of work tasks, readings of work protocols. However, the presence of the language is not always explicit, so it can be difficult to situate it and to include it in a training of language courses for immigrant workers. This proposal questions the object of analysis of interactions when the linguistic part of work is not apparent in professional communication situations. Which methodology of analysis of language and activity should be adopted to take into account the interweaving of language and action in the composition of pedagogical activities? This contribution offers to reflect on the condition of professional and linguistic training for migrant workers in France through the analysis of interactions in a corpus of apprenticeship of the profession of cleaning officer.
