Default Safely discharging a capacitor

Going to attempt to change the capacitor on my tumble dryer... Its a 8
micro-Farad one.

I think its dead anyway but I'm assuming I can check with a multimeter?
What sort of voltage/current is one of these likely to have?

Assuming it is still ' live' how do I discharge it to make it safe?
