Preface
This is the third edition of CSA S269.2, Access scaffolding for construction purposes. It supersedes the previous editions published in 1987 and 1980.
Since this Standard was last revised in 1987, CSA Z797 Code of practice for access scaffold was created as a performance standard for scaffolding. As a result, this new edition of this Standard focuses on design, fabrication, and testing.
