Since current depends on voltage, it stands to reason that everything else being equal, higher voltage is more hazardous since it can deliver more energy to the victim. Devices designed to deliver a shock (like tasers, defibrillators, electric fences) have specific rules limiting the energy they can deliver. Otherwise, from a regulatory standpoint, anything above 60V is considered potentially lethal, that is, not ‘touch-safe’.
