Yes, it is allowing them access to that area, when that area is harmful to humans (via fire). This is indirect harm to a human.

Is denying humans access to an area with an active plasma fire, restricting them to a confined space, like the Medbay proper, considered "harm"? and Is cloning a human after they have committed suicide considered "harm"?
Annoyance != harm. There are no injuries associated with this, directly or indirectly, as stated.

Allowing the humans to pass through the plasma fire in its infancy could theoretically cause a smaller amount of harm than keeping the humans in a confined space as the fire (or the heat from the fire) spreads. It's a decision between evacuation that needs to pass through danger or hiding from fire. Neither choice is a clear winner.
