When encountering equipment like that illustrated I agree that a "voltstick" or similar should be used to give a "second opinion" in addition to a proper tester of an approved type.
Leather gardening gloves give some protection against arc flash, but NOT against electric shock.
When inserting a fuse carrier I agree that it is good practice to insert the bottom end first and then to turn away whilst pushing the other end home.
I also have seen a flat cap used for various purposes, including handling a live DNO conductor.
