Working around high voltages?

[Alan KB7MBI]

Hopefully getting my first amp I will have the opportunity to work around
some very high voltages. I am looking for some practices to keep in mind.
Here are a few I would think of:
--Discharge capacitors to ground
--Don't work around high voltages when tired (or sipping a tall one)
--How about wearing rubber gloves???
and............

There are old electricians and some bold electricians but no old bold
electricians (smile). You who have been hams a long time are evidence of
having some good practices. Can you pass along a few?
