I work at a manufacturing facility that employs 4 electricians that deal with the high & medium voltage electrical systems (maintenance & small projects). We have 2 main 15kV switchgear lineups in our main substation. These electricians have desks, break area, & library that are literally inside of the main 15kV substation. Although they do not sit right in front of the breaker panels, they sit about 5' away from the sides of the switchgear. Management has built a thin metal divider that is between the end of the switchgear and the desk area. As a new EE here, I do not approve of those men sitting in there, but I havent been able to find any standards saying employees shall not be housed in that area.
Does anyone know of codes/standards I could use as leverage when I approach my bosses about trying to find somewhere else for these men to sit?
Thanks
