The main precautions to take are to make sure you don't simultaneously contact more than one exposed terminal on your batteries. I modified a ratchet driver and dedicated it to the engine room. I simply sleeved the metal handle with heat shrink tube, and this is the ONLY tool I use when the battery cover is off. I have had a tool-drop short circuit before. I don't want one again.

Its DC.
A shock involves touching two wires, the + and the -.
Grounding is not involved (or present).
All dc wires are connected point to point.DC is considered "safe" at 48V DC, upto approx 80V.
Low voltage does not want to go through humans. We have high 10Mohm resistance, more or less, and poor conductivity.

As long as you are not grounded you can touch any connection in the system and not get a shock. But better to simply not touch any bare conductor in the first place.
