I've toured power plants, both hydro and coal, which are dangerous places. On a scale of 1-10 with a corporate office being 1 and a power plant being 10, I'd have rated a data center at 1. But now having seen the inside of one, I'd rate it more like 3 or 4. The biggest danger is the high voltage, but there are more mundane dangers like hearing loss, heavy equipment, heat, room-pressure, holes in the floor, etc. It's an industrial facility for sure, and PPE and safety procedures are a BIG DEAL for the workers.
