Can occupational guidelines for work-rest schedules be based on endurance time data?

Article Abstract:

A review of several independent research papers indicates that the Dul model of work/rest schedules does not have predictive validity. The Dul model posits that endurance time may be used as a predictor of work schedule that would decrease the possibility of musculoskeletal disorders. The reason for this criticism lies in individual differences of exercise protocol. The Dul model does not take these factors into consideration.
