Regardless of the fact of wearing ASTM rated Insulated Gloves and Leather Outers.
Does anyone here as an EC use Neoprene Cover sheets to blank out areas of a Live Switchboard (Panel) while working live?.
It's the easiest way of minimising the risk of a Flash accident, by ensuring that you have the bare minimum of exposed live metal near to where you are working.
Sure, you might be thinking that only Line workers should be using that sort of gear,
but take it from me, I've never had an Arc Flash Accident yet.
IMO, these should be used by all Electricians that do Live work.
