Person getting electrocuted, leakage protectors not tripping off,
unsafe to approach...  Wouldn't you rather someone run across the room
and shut off the power, immediately, where there's every chance you can
save them, versus them being a certain corpse?

Electrical hazard starts a small fire...  Shut off the power and put
out a minor fire, versus evacuate building and let the whole building
catch fire while waiting for the fire brigade?

Locking off an electrical panel sounds like the plan of a complete
fuckwit!

If someone suggested that plan of action where I worked I'd give them a
very public bollicking, with some very sharp words about their lack of
intelligence.

Hell, even parking things like vending machines in front of their power
sockets so you can't pull the plug is a major fire-risk no-no.
