dis boards like those above are still really common in industry, I follow a facebook group for electrical photos, and many electricians are horrified by them, even when installed well and no covers missing, but they tend to be the domestic and commercial electricians, older ones arent phased at all. When I call an electrician, I always explain if it includes work on a cartridge fuse board
The asbestos isn't that hazardous unless its disturbed, perversely, mostly when the boards get changed.
We had someone point out that grinding dust had settled above some busbars and a manager wanted to get the compressed air on it, and poke it through the screw holes, I pointed out the error of that choice before a Turkish shave was performed.
I do think its a bit naughty changing fuses in these, the last board of this sort that I had changed was because someone had changed a fuse and welded it half way in. I was always taught to line it up, stick it in the bottom, look away and push it smartly in. I think attitudes may have changed now, however.
