I’d probably turn off the power first especially if I didn’t already know what was behind it and whether it is properly grounded.
Comment on What is this plug on my wall for?

Agreed. Always best to use an insulated screwdriver with anything near live electricity.
In this case, if the fusebox is manufactured correctly, there should be very little risk indeed, but you can’t be sure that some unscrupulous corporation made something that disintegrates or weirdly exposes live connections where it absolutely needn’t. It doesn’t look super well made because the little tray for the fuse should be flush with the front of the plate and not recessed like that!
