Yes, I was being a bit facetious.  

See if you can get your hands on IEC 60479-1 which relates to the
effects of current passing through the human body.  I only have excepted
portions of it.  An official copy is around $150 but you might find
somebody with a copy you can borrow, read and return.  A good library
might have one, especially a university library.

IEC 61140 has information relating to rules of protection.  Again, I
don't have a full copy handy, just excerpts.
