Matheson Philosophy on Workplace Safety and Work Injury Evaluation

My university training is in accounting. My service to the country was the U.S. Coast Guard. My extended training is in Method-Time Measurement, a very high level method of task analysis. My involvement with occupational rehabilitation began in about 1980, seated at the feet of my older brother, Dr. Leonard Matheson. In 1983 or so, I joined his practice at the Employment and Rehabilitation Institute of California (ERIC), the first Work Capacity Evaluation clinic in the U.S. (FCE at the point was called Work Tolerance Screening). WCE was an 8 to 10 day evaluation of a person's work ability. WTS was a one day assessment of their physical abilities and level of effort.

I would like your input on the material for our September 1st webinar discussing the federal court's use of Department of Labor terminology.

Hey Everyone,

"I have heard you state before that Methods-Time Measurement does not predict human capacity for work. Is there any research saying that?"
