I am not an electrician, so I know enough to be dangerous.
Actually, I studied electrical engineering - so I know enough to keep
mostly safe.
I was thinking I would write about keeping a hand in the pocket, but you
beat me to it.
I always have a hand in my pocket when routing wires in my main electric
panel where I can't easily turn everything off. It isn't enough to just
keep a hand away - by instinct you will use it to grab on to something.
I've been lucky, I've never been hit with anything more than 110v
