I'm not aware of a "boot" or cover made specifically for that switch, nor can I recall seeing any such provision on such switches already installed. But if you were concerned, a first wrap of each post connection with heavy rubber electrical insulating tape and then perhaps a cover fabricated from some sheet rubber or an old inner tube shouldn't be much of a challenge. Probably not a bad precaution to take, though I can't recall hearing of any accidents resulting from the exposed connections on properly done installations. Preferably the switch should be installed such that it interrupts the Ground cable, and that automatically limits the potential for problems.
