Does the NEC, or others, require a safety switch, and where must it be placed. The boiler has it'e own toggle switch, but it's not really visible, and certainly not a safety shut off device.

Looks Like No,
but what about Rhode Island?0 -
NEC Article 422
requires a disconnecting means within sight of the boiler. If the fan or pump is not over 300 VA or 1/8 HP, the panel breaker can be used as the disconnect. If the panel is not visible, a single pole switch is usually the least expensive solution that qualifies.0
