Not exactly safe if there is an emergency situation for the electrician.
Why? Typically bathroom doors do not need to be unlocked in order to exit.
Put a lever style or panic hardware on the door also.

This is a design issue (personal preference), not an NEC issue if the electrical room/working space can be exited. You may find prohibitions elsewhere like in building or fire codes.
