Anything above 60 volts is a lethal shock hazard, but even lower voltages can give a purdy-big spark. (SAE specifies anything above 60v in a car must be ORANGE)

electrician's joke: " I always keep one hand in my pocket when trouble-shooting circuits."
Telephone landline wires would give you a tingle, if someone called while you were fiddling with the wires.
