They are not at all safe and are junk that needs to be recycled and never installed even in a barn let alone a home. Zinsco company went out of business partly because it was discovered that their breakers did not trip when they were supposed to. For this reason they are nothing but a fire hazard and are not to be trusted to protect the wiring in your home or your family from a fire. Do not use any Zinsco or FPE service panel. Destroy this panel so that no one can ever use it.

Is it safe to sit next to a fuse box daily?
There is a magnetic field around any electrical device. A 100 amp electrical panel does have a magnetic field surrounding it but really no more than a refrigerator, microwave oven or any other electrical appliance. Will it harm you? That is debatable. Some say it will and some say it won't. I measure the electromagnetic field at my 100 amp service panel and at 5' there was no notable field. At 3' is where the filed becomes strong enough the be measured but even then it is only .7 miligause. At 1' it pegs my meter which only goes to 1 milliwatt. So if you are sitting at least 5' away from the panel you have nothing to worry about.
