Yes, as long as people are aware of the dangers, it's no problem. I took a bunch of electronics repair courses, which were largely focused on radios and CRT TVs. Only one person managed to hurt himself, he fell asleep with the open TV in front of him, and his forehead hit the high-voltage lines (~20kV IIRC) on the back of the CRT. I've never seen anyone wake up and jump from his chair so fast. Needless to say, he never fell asleep in that class again.
