If a technician is overweight, he needs to be weighed to determine what type of climbing gear he can use.
That would have done nothing in this case. The pole was rotten and not functioning within specs, so all the calculations and weighing in the world wouldn't have helped.

 I never said that the weight check would have did anything in this case, but it is a responsibility of management to determine if the individual has safe equipment to do his job.

Further, as I said the technician, apparently, made a deliberate effort to bypass safety procedures, as I told fiberguy. The technician pretty much caused this, he should not have climbed the pole.
