How much of a danger it is to anyone working on the external hull partly depends on how you envision CG working.  I.e., does it project a field that can be felt or is it only the CG drive itself that is lifted and that as a result of being built into the ship's structure lifts the ship.  I have to admit that I don't know the canon answer to questions like "do CG hover tanks crush the things they 'roll' over?".

As for maintenance of the CG systems that sounds like the kind of thing that you'd want to do at the highport.

In fact for a lot of ship maintenance tasks I can imagine that performing them in a controlled environment at the highport would make them easier.
