In the UK, over 50V is generally thought of as being potentially lethal to someone who's cut and has a dodgy heart, i.e. Anything over 50V AC should be protected. 50V DC will also give a slight jolt. Saying that though, I never been harmed by 50V and I consider it safe for me to work on live, however I'm aware of the risks/precautions. Play it safe and put perspex over it.
