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.
