RETURN TO WORK PLAN

Mark Holand — WorkSafeBC Claim 42647461
Updated: March 13, 2026 — Following Adverse Employment Action by BCRTC
BCRTC — Acoustic Injury — OMC1 Control Training Room — January 12, 2026

UPDATED CONTEXT — MARCH 13, 2026

On March 13, 2026, BCRTC Senior Manager Austin Puder issued a letter removing Mark
Holand from the Control Operator training program and transferring him back to his previous
position as Guideway Serviceperson, effective March 31, 2026.

The stated reason is missed training due to leave. The actual reason is a workplace acoustic
injury sustained January 12, 2026 at Workstation 3, OMC1 Control Training Room — caused by
BCRTC’s own failure to remediate a documented safety hazard after formal notice was given on
January 22, 2026.

This letter was issued in the same week the Burnaby Building Department Inspections
Supervisor contacted BCRTC regarding permit documentation for the server installation —
documentation that does not exist.

The Control Operator training pathway is now formally closed by the employer’s own action.
This return to work plan, submitted with that context, requests that WorkSafeBC activate its
vocational rehabilitation mandate and support the pathway described below.

GOAL

To return to meaningful, sustainable employment in Occupational Health and Safety — a field
directly informed by my injury, my investigation, and my commitment to ensuring this never
happens to another worker.

|" want to make sure this never happens to anyone else.”

— Mark Holand, January 2026, documented in communications with BCRTC instructor from day
one of the safety concern.
