Narrative:
Upon performing an equipment installation on a B767, I removed 2 panels from the back of the equipment rack for access. At the end of my shift, I turned over the job to the oncoming shift. When the entire maintenance visit was complete, it was discovered that panels were left open. However, I do not know if the panels involved were the panels that I had opened. I was not responsible for closing the panels.
