What sort of panel boxes ? Are they for wiring which
connects to some sort of HVAC equipment ?

If you are an electrician then go nuts and do whatever
you think you need to do... If you are not licensed as an
electrician DO NOT TOUCH any wiring that is not feeding
a piece of equipment you are qualified to repair... You
should not even be touching the wiring, only looking
at it and tracing it to see where the fault is upstream so that
an electrician can repair the fault/defect and you can put the
equipment back in service after that has been done...
You can warn some responsible party that you have seen
something inside the panel that needs to be addressed by
an electrician but if it is not something which is powering
some equipment you are working on then leave it alone...

Why take on the liability of having been "the last person to
touch/ work on/breathe too hard on/in/near it" if you see
something that looks abnormal tell someone who is
responsible for that panel... You are not there to fix every
aspect of everything you find wrong, only those things which
are covered by your trade license and the work order/service
request that resulted in you being there...
