Hi John After resistor you might have ES1 circuit and safety distances do not apply. However resistor need to comply with special requirements of Annex G.
See table 4 for ES1 limit for DC current. I think it is 2mA. You have to simulate short accross resistor unles resistor comply with searate requirements Similar as limited current circuit in 60950-1. I hope this helps.

The specific case is at a point fed by a 1 kV DC source behind two 4.7 megohm resistors in series.
