I have forgotten what makes up the 6 pack - can someone please refresh my memory. Indeed is it still the 6 pack or have other subjects been added or taken away?
Thanks
Joe

‘the six pack’:
The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1992 - revoked by 1999 regs
The Display Screen Equipment Regulations
The Manual Handling Operations Regulations
The Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations
The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations
The Workplace Health, Safety and Welfare Regulations
Minor changes here and there, major changes to first(revoked as above) and to the last one which was amended by the Quarries Regulations 1999, the Health and Safety (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2002, the Work at Height Regulations 2005, and the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007.

Martin is spot on for the list.
It was referred to as the "six pack" because the EC Framework plus 5 daughter directives were transposed into GB regulations that came into effect on the same date, i.e 1st January 1993!
Whether any "subjects" have been added or taken away depends upon your understanding and definition. Yes, there have been either amendments or wholesale consolidation (revokments) to a couple, i.e the Management Regs and PUWER .

One of the revisions was to PUWER in 1998, as has already been pointed out, but what hasn't been mentioned was that because of this PUWER had a daughter, and her name was LOLER, so the 6 pack is now 7,
