On January 12, Mark transferred from his previous position as a Guideway
Serviceperson to the Control Operations department at BCRTC and became
completing necessary training. On January 19, Mark began experiencing headaches,
bilateral eye pain and loss of sleep attributed to a noisy server fan from one of the desks
in the control department training room. A comprehensive investigation was completed
by BCRTC’s safety department which revealed that the sound levels were within normal
WSBC thresholds as outlined in the WSBC denial letter. In my initial phone discussion
with Mark on February 3, he confirmed suffering from pre-existing migraines which were
well-managed.

On or around March 24, Mark was relieved from his position as Control Operator as he
did not successfully pass the necessary training. He was reassigned back to his usual
position as a Guideway Serviceperson to which he took exception to and lodged a
grievance/protest.

Occupational Health issued an Occupational Fitness Assessment (OFA) to his
Physician on March 24 to better understand his prognosis for return to work as a
Guideway Serviceperson to which his Physician noted some physical and psychological
restrictions. A further follow-up medical questionnaire was issued to his Physician on
April 3

Inquiring about Mark’s ability to participate in a modified return to work in an
office/administrative capacity to which we received no correspondence.

Mark was also no longer responding to email reminders or inquiries from Occ Health
which prompted involvement of our Labor Relations department.

Our Labor Relations department issued Mark with a Notice to Comply Letter and
deadline to submit this requested information. The deadline of May 8 lapsed and Mark
provided another generic medical note extending his absence till June 15.

| am happy to discuss this further should you require more information or context.
