(OP)
does anyone know of any concerns with a person working
in an electrical closet (9ft x 5ft) for a fews hours a day that has a couple of electrical distribution panelboards and a lighting dimming panel?

The only thing that jumps to would be if the worker had a pacemaker or other similar electronic device that can malfunction in the presence of EM fields.

If someone's turned the wirng closet into a micro-office, I'd guess that would be a code violation.

Code requires that service space clearances around and in front of electrical equipment be maintained in accordance with the voltage system requirements. I suggest that at the very least these be maintained. And if you are comfortable that this will not become a Union/OSHA or legal problem-then that needs to be considered. But I doubt there are any real health or environmental issues you need be concerned about. I would look at possible interferance with a PC in close proximity to the dimming system or any transformers. Could cause noise on screen if not properly filtered.
Good luck
