Instructions and procedures
This Facilities Instructions, Standards, and Techniques (FIST) Volume is to establish clear and consistent instructions and procedures for temporary grounding of deenergized and isolated high-voltage equipment (over 600 volts) for the purpose of bare hand contact.
This FIST applies to those facilities of the Federal power and water systems for which the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) and its contractors and agents are responsible, and includes power and pumping plants, switchyards and substations, and transmission lines.
Scope
These instructions and procedures supplement the requirements in Reclamation Safety and Health Standards, “yellow book”. Adherence to these procedures will enable workers to perform their duties with maximum confidence and safety. In the event of a difference between the requirements in this FIST and those contained in the Reclamation Safety and Health Standard, the more rigorous requirement shall apply.
