Written for the people who have to make the case internally.

Every article here is built from the same sourced Canadian research the rest of the site runs on. Where we are making our own argument rather than citing someone else's, it says so.

Why a lifting course does not move your claim numbers

Training changes what a worker knows. It does not change what their back can tolerate. Here is what the Canadian claim data says about which of those 2 drives the number.
