I am not a sparky, just a simple country metallurgist, but the lore is that an early lesson for those in that line of work is to keep one hand in your pocket so that if shocked - it's less likely to go across one's chest.
Having worked with HV things like explosive firesets and X-ray generators, my early lesson was to let someone else do it. My nephew's doing those "burned/etched in wood" art things with HV from a neon sign power source. Allegedly safe-ish but it's a complete "NOPE" from me. Looks cool but there was some San Francisco detective's less-than-most-famous quote was "A man's gotta know his limits".
