Yes, I would obviously warn someone that was inexperienced with such things of the possibility of getting zapped when working on such things, but it's not like they're playing with uranium pellets and are in imminent danger of death and dismemberment.
When I was in computer repair class in high school, I feared inexperienced kids working on computers more than taking apart a CRT. The majority of the machines that we had were 486s, which allowed you to insert the CPU in 4 different directions.
On more than one occasion some idiot would put a 486 in backwards and leave the machine on; And on more than one occasion the CPU exploded like a small bomb and sent high velocity ceramic chunks and sharp gold pins flying across the lab and get stuck in the cinder block walls, the ceiling and even the metal lab tables.
