That critically depends what country you are in. In the UK you can normally safely connect yourself between neutral and earth, as neutral is "always" bonded to earth at the sub-station. There may be a few volts on neutral due to phase imbalance in the three phase supply and how far you are from the sub-station, but normally that's not a problem. I really wouldn't like to connect myself between live (nominal 230V over here) and neutral though!
I don't know the wiring rules in US well enough to determine how "safe" this would "over there".
