Just take a screw driver and bang around inside the PSU (make sure the thing is UNPLUGGED from the wall AND the computer) and you'll be fine. Any of the electric build-up (forgive the newb terms) will be discharged. That's what I do, anyway.
The main thing you want to stay away from is the circuit boards (from what I've found out) that are inside the PSU. The heatsinks are fine to touch. But it should ALL be fine to touch if you just touch all the components inside the PSU before starting the work.
