I know that's the way to do it, but I'm just too freaking chicken

Hell, to discharge HV before I work on a set that I've tested, I empty my pockets, and hold the end of the test lead which I'm using to discharge the anode, with a REALLY thick towel all bundled up. Because towels are the best HV insulator out there, you know

Seriously, though, what type of safety precautions does one need to do before doing this....other than the aforementioned? Insulated screwdriver, don't do it in the bathtub, etc?
