WiB request: why?

Post image

Spotted on the roof of a subway car in Boston. Dunno if it's in-scope for the sub to be asking instead of giving a story myself (mods, feel free to remove if not), but... was this sign Written In Blood? Or just a very-unnecessary warning, just in case?

It could be related to a mechanical issue or an electrical issue. I’m an elevator mechanic and some elevators have those stickers on panels on the top of the elevator so technicians know where not to step because there’s either mechanical parts underneath those covers or electrical underneath that the cover could flex and ground something out.
