pronounce on the safety thereof, and who has certified in writing that the confined space is safe and will remain
safe while any person is in the confined space, taking into account the nature and duration of the work to be
performed therein.
(2) Where the provisions of sub regulation (1) cannot be complied with the employer or user of machinery, as the
case may be, shall take steps to ensure that any confined space in which there exists or is likely to exist a
hazardous gas, vapour, dust or fumes, or which has or is likely to have, an oxygen content of less than 20 per cent
by volume, is entered by an employee or other person only when—
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—

is entered only if –
a. the concentration of the gas, vapour, dust or fumes does not exceed 25 per cent of the lower explosive
limit of the gas, vapour, dust or fumes concerned where the work to be performed is of such a nature
that it does not create a source of ignition; or
b. such concentration does not exceed 10 per cent of the lower explosive limit of the gas, vapour, dust or
fumes where other work is performed.
(6) The provisions of this regulation shall mutatis mutandis also apply, in so far as they can be so applied, to any work
which is performed in any place or space on the outside of and bordering on or in the immediate vicinity of, any
confined space, and in which place or space, owing to its proximity to the confined space, any hazardous article,
oxygen-deficient atmosphere or dangerous concentration of gas, vapour, dust or fumes may occur or be present
