The amps are what kills you. Generally speaking, the lower the voltage, the more amps.
Current (amps) = voltage divided by resistance.
If the resistance does not change, higher voltage will allow higher current draw.
Your body generally does not change resistance. If you touch 120 volt wire, you will probably live.
Touch a high voltage transmission line and you will turn to charcoal.

I'm fully aware of Ohms law. I'm a certified industrial electrician. I was just stating facts to the OP because he was talking about working on something hot. Everyone under plays 120v because it's just 120v. It is responsible for the most electrical deaths each year. Cheers
