Do you mean "not safe" as in it would not be safe?
or
"not safe" as in not permitted as per the section numbers provided above.
Other than local laws, generally speaking and depending on the size of the room, it is permitted to install piping of 'other systems' in electrical rooms.

im most electrical rooms i work in, its basically the ultility room. the sprinkler riser enters the building and the water main is close by. just as long as it is out of the workspace and not above the panel its fine
only problem is watch out when the plumber is there he might spray water into your live panel
