In most cases the switch disconnect will do the job. It depends on the circuit wiring that the fan is connected to. If the circuit is a three wire circuit you could receive a shock when you open the neutral wire if you accidentally touch the neutral and the system ground at the same time. As an electrician we always take the safer road and disconnect the power supply from the load at the breaker and not depend on the switch for complete circuit isolation.
