Good morning all, I'm currently creating a list of applicable HSE Legislation and this has resulted in an issue that I don;t have the answer for. If a regulation has been amended do you list the original date or the amended date? For example: The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations were first put on the Statute Book in 1988 under S.I. 1657. But since that date there was three amendments then they brought out the COSHH Regulations 1994. There were then again three amendments until the COSHH Regulations 1999 and then 2002 were introduced. Since 2002 we've had another further two amendments in 2003 and 2004. This is where I don't quite understand it, do we sight the most recent date even if it's an amendment or do we always only refer to the most recent Regulation date without the amendment? Thanks

COSHH Regulations 2002 as amended. But you could just not put the date!

If the purpose is to verify complaince to the current applicable regulation the date becomes very important. Appreciate CHiP is now a defunct regulation but in its history: CHiP 1993 -> CHiP 1994 (1996/1997/1998/1999x3/2000) -> CHiP 2002 (2005/2008) -> CHiP 2009

According to the front of my copy of COSHH, the correct format is: COSHH Regulations 2002 (as amended)

Funny thing with lists: someone out there usually has a better reason for creating one.............. http://www.hse.gov.uk/le...tion/statinstruments.htm

When I did my law degree we were advised to put the date followed by 'as amended'. Probably due to the fact there can be numerous amendments for one statutory Act or Instrument.
