Does a PoE switch need direct access to a PoE device?

Hi Slug chatters

I'm wearing a network engineers hat as of hat and I'm tempted to
install a PoE switch as we expand to power PoE supported phones.

Some phones will have direct access to the PoE switch. But others will
be connected via other intermediary switches.

Will an intermediary non PoE switch blow up/block/pass on the power
from the 'master' PoE switch?

If the former, I guess daisy chaining PoE switches is relatively safe?
