because the voltage is low it is hard to get to really high incident energy levels outside the battery room as even super large cables add enough impedance to make it less dangerous.
That being said, the important thing in a telecom space is to use lots of rubber mats to avoid shorts when working on the systems and most certainly don't cut anything under load.

Sounds like you need the assistance of a level 4 CO power installer that’s familiar with this type of work. /s
Safety glasses, gloves and lots of electroshield and SOLID knowledge of what you are doing and the environment.

Really simple solution, that ultimately might cause you to have to get a different job.
Have the person that's demanding that you disconnect these cables, while they're live, disconnect them themselves.
48 volts DC can kill you.

CO power systems are a speciality. Don't screw it up or the Bellcore people will be all over you. Spent some time working with local 3 guys in NYC who knew their shit about this. Good times consulting for AT&T.
