Agreed.
I know of a story of someone working with a drill was also wearing a tie*...
needless to say the tie accidentally got caught around the drill and the guy
was very nearly strangled to death...
* He had attended in interview earlier in the day and didn't go home before
returning to work.

Whether low-impedance voltage sources are present, or
not, you should
+never+ wear any kind of hand / wrist jewelry when working with moving
parts. Ditto for neck chains and long hair, that isn't securely tied back.
Seems like First Grade instruction for the tech, but accidents still
happen.. every day.
Remember that most injuries associated with electric shock are secondary -
that is, the real damage often occurs when the individual recoils from the
shock, jamming their hands into even worse places in the equipment - like
rotating assemblies. And then there's the innocent guy behind you, who
gets
knocked into his equipment, when you jump back.
