Hello all,
A contractor installed some relay modules in a dead front panel, but when they reattached the cover, some of the live elements on the relays are exposed. The following pictures shows the situation.

These live elements are not exposed when the door to the panel is closed. I know the panel loses it's dead front listing with these live parts exposed, but does anyone have any experience with these kind of installations? Is there any exception to NEC 408.38? Any further information (code violations or exceptions) would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
