Let’s pay more pole checkers!
Whatever we do, do not replace dodgy poles, just record them.
In that way we can say we knew, we would replace and it’s just a little unlucky this/these persons were killed before we could get to them. I mean who would expect one person (the CEO) to replace 3000 dodgy poles over the Christmas holiday break when kiwis don’t work.
