In one story buildings on slabs, electric wiring is typically run through the ceiling with vertical wiring dropped down to switches and outlets. The utility outlets closest to the floor feed down the wall attached to the outside of the stud approx 16-18 above floor, the run horizontally though the prepunched holes in the metal studs. Locate the studs with stud finder and stay above that 18" horizontal run and I would say your in good shape.
