Whenever I work on batteries I use a clean rag or shop towel and cover the opposite terminal. Cheap insurance! I also use plastic coated wrenches but rag works the best!
Depending on what vehicle you are working on, watch out and understand mfgs tsb and/or service proceedures on batteries. Some of the newer vehicles won't start until a code is entered into the radio or via a scan tool, after working on the battery.
Also follow Bill's post #131 in this thread.
