A sticker similar to this image appeared on my nearest Street cabinet. Is this a new H&S thing or is it something else like FTTP is on the way? (Sorry for rubbish image quality)

It's been the law for a very long time (1997 EU harmonization, and well before that under national regulations) that any electrical enclosure in a public or industrial space that contains hazardous voltages above 50V and below 1000V must indicate the voltage present within. About 1000V the law is significantly more stringent, including fences, minimum distances etc

So either the owner of the enclosure was breaking the law or they have or are about to install some single phase 230 Volt equipment inside.

A picture of the whole cabinet would be helpful.

You generally can tell whether a cabinet has active equipment or not in it, by the presence of ventilation slots.

If it does, and they've only just added the sticker, then it's probably H&S.

If it's a new cabinet or extension pod, then it probably contains VDSL equipment.

Dslams always had the 230v warning applied, but it's not uncommon to attend a cabinet and find access blocked by a parked vehicle ( working room is also required as well as space for pedestrians, something often ignored by drivers) .
