Subject: FORMAL NOTICE: Staged Test Environment & Active Suppression of Evidence — Claim
#42647461

ATTENTION: WorkSafeBC Case Management and Arcose Consulting Group,

| am writing to formally notify all parties that Report ID: 2044-20260306 (Project No. 2044.20383.2026) is
fundamentally flawed, based on a staged test environment, and reflects a deliberate suppression of forensic
data.

As a 25-year heavy industry professional with an honors-level technical background (3.73 GPA, NAIT), | am
submitting the following Evidence of Administrative and Regulatory Non-Compliance:

1. ACTIVE SUPPRESSION OF THE JAN 29 FORENSIC BRIEF The attached Acoustic Trauma Brief was filed
on January 29, 2026, as part of my formal WorkSafeBC Unsafe Workplace Report. WorkSafeBC and the
Employer failed to provide this brief to the Arcose investigators. By withholding this forensic data, the Board
ensured the survey would ignore the documented 328Hz narrow-band resonance ("Acoustic Laser") that
caused my injury.

2. THE REGULATORY "HARD STOP": UNPERMITTED INSTALLATION This is an industrial-scale server
deployment in a Classroom/Office environment—not a machine shop. A forensic audit of 317 municipal
records confirms this equipment was installed without permits, violating NFPA 75/76 standards. This site is
currently under active investigation by the City of Burnaby Building Permit Supervisor. Labeling an illegal,
unpermitted fire hazard as "safe" is a breach of professional and regulatory duty.

3. THE CONFIGURATION "CATCH-22" (STAGED ASSEMBLY) My acute acoustic trauma on January 25
occurred because the equipment was operated in a broken state with a missing side panel, allowing raw
mechanical noise to reflect off the window directly into my left ear. This report is now trapped in a forensic "Catch-
22":

« SCENARIO A (Tested with panels ON): The employer presented a staged environment. A "sealed"
machine does not represent the unshielded state that injured me.

¢ SCENARIO B (Tested with panels OFF): You have professionally certified an unshielded, broken, and
unpermitted machine as "safe" for a classroom environment.

4. MISREPRESENTATION OF CLINICAL TRAUMA The employer and the Board have framed an acute physical
injury as a "subjective distraction." They have withheld the clinical reality: 5 Emergency Room visits, a
documented 10dB asymmetric hearing drop, and clinical Tonic Tensor Tympani Syndrome (TTTS). Relying
on A-weighted averages to "smooth over" a localized trauma is scientifically dishonest.

NOTICE OF LIABILITY: WorkSafeBC is currently using a report based on a staged environment to deny
medical care and wages to an injured worker. Now that all parties have been formally provided with the actual
operational state (missing panel), the clinical outcome (acute trauma), and the regulatory reality (City of
Burnaby investigation), | expect an immediate review of this claim and an expedited specialist referral.

Sincerely,
Mark Holand
