Steps
Confirm the applicable standard is CSA S269.2-16 (reaffirmed 2021), 'Access scaffolding for construction purposes,' which superseded the older CAN/CSA-S269.2-M87 edition.
Check with the relevant provincial OH&S regulator, since Canadian workplace safety is largely provincially regulated, for how or whether it incorporates CSA S269.2 by reference.
Obtain the current standard text from CSA Group directly, since older withdrawn editions (M87) are sometimes still circulated in outdated references.
Cross-check any provincial competent-person or scaffold-erector certification requirements layered on top of the CSA design/use standard.
Confirm scaffold equipment, materials, and components meet the design/fabrication/testing provisions of the current edition before use.
Known gotchas
The older CAN/CSA-S269.2-M87 (R2003) edition has been withdrawn/superseded -- don't cite it as current without checking, since some older training materials and vendor documents still reference it.
Canadian scaffold safety enforcement is primarily provincial, not federal -- the CSA standard's legal force depends on province-specific adoption/incorporation, so check the specific province's OH&S regulation.
