Opening cabin door with engine running

Scenario: During pushback cabin crew tells you they can not arm 1 slide. Can you legally open the door to check for a possible reason (e.g. ice/snow...) of the door problem with an engine running on the opposite side? Needless to say I would first make sure that the engine(s) on the side of the door to be opened are shut down.

Company rules do not forbid it however I'm interested if there would be any legal text (JAROPS or FAR AIMS).
