Steps
Confirm the applicable design/use standard is ANSI/SAIA A92.9 (most recently reissued as A92.9-2023).
Check whether the standard has since split into A92.9A (design/calculations/test methods) and A92.9B (safe use/training/administrative requirements), as the A92 series has been undergoing restructuring.
Verify with the manufacturer or SAIA/ANSI directly which edition applies to your specific platform model and jurisdiction.
Confirm training content and administrative requirements (operator training, rescue plan, inspection) match whichever edition is currently in force.
Cross-check any state or local AHJ adoption of the standard, since adoption dates can lag the ANSI publication date.
Known gotchas
The A92 series has been undergoing a multi-year restructuring (numbering and splitting standards); do not assume 'A92.9' alone still fully describes the current document set without checking ANSI's/SAIA's current listing.
MCWPs are distinct from aerial lifts and from standard scaffolds -- do not apply 1926.451/1926.453 provisions to MCWPs without checking manufacturer instructions and the applicable A92 standard.
