How about a metallic fibre body stocking?
You'd be safe from EM up to some very high frequency
depending on the weave (Say 200 Ghz)!
Then
1.) Use metal-soled shoes, or go barefoot,
2.) Do NOT get a job as an electrician :)
Actually, workers on high-tension lines somewhere
(UK?) tested full-body metallic suits, that allowed
them to work on 300 KV lines with the power on!
They were dropped onto the work area by helicopter!
I don't know what would happen if one of these people
grabbed an earthed strut at the same time as they
handled a cable at EHT; I would imagine that suit
would get rather hot with resistive heating!
