Just because there is natural gas piping involved doesn't make this an explosion hazard, if it did, any house with a natural gas water heater would have hazardous locations.
I'm certainly not faulting your concerns about safety with the above questions, but I just can't see why sealing is required.

the area has been classified as hazardous by the manufacturer of the equipment which happens to be ge, whom i work for.
the conduits supply the generator field supply conductors for the generator. those conduits lead into the collector ring cabinet of the generator. this area has been classified by the manufacturer "ge" as a class 1 div 2 area. the seals are located as the conduits exit the slab then go into a pull box then to a peckerhead that has bus connections in it where the conductors terminate.
