a. subject to the provisions of sub regulation (3), the confined space is purged and ventilated to provide a
safe atmosphere therein and measures necessary to maintain a safe atmosphere therein have been
taken; and
b. the confined space has been isolated from all pipes, ducts and other communicating openings by means
of effective blanking other than the shutting or locking of a valve or a cock, or, if this is not practicable,
only when all valves and cocks which are a potential source of danger have been locked and securely
fastened by means of chains and padlocks.
(3) Where the provisions of sub regulation (2)(a) cannot be complied with, the employer or user of machinery shall
take steps to ensure that the confined space in question is entered only when the employee or person entering is
using breathing apparatus of a type approved by the chief inspector and, further, that—
