First, understand it. Electricity is an energy source that can be at levels far higher that what your body can absorb.
Understand that commercial power runs through a current path, typically through wires from from point to point, usually from hot to neutral, but if your body provides a path to ground, you become a part of that "point to point" current path.
You need to be aware when any part of your body can become part of that current path.
Knowing the laws of nature that govern electricity is the best way to avoid electrical hazards.
As an energy source, electricity can cause devices to overheat, resulting in fire danger. Electrical sparks can ignite explosive gasses.
As with any potentially dangerous activity, you should understand what you're doing before you work with something with that much power.
