One of the most common accidents that happens when working with batteries is the creation of a short-circuit in the battery bank by dropping a metal tool that provides a low resistance path between the (+) and (-) terminals of a battery. When installing or maintaining batteries, it is best to buy tools that are insulated. If insulated tools are not available where you work or cost prohibitive, then tools can be made less likely to create a short by insulating them with electrical tape to increase their resistance.
