Not safe for what?

Sure there is part of a painting of a naked lady, but is it art?

Then there is a man's nipple plus, shock/horror, some people smoking. I imagine it is the latter that'll be horrifying you.

If I was tyrant-employer I would be sacking people for obsessively looking at their phones all day, rather than inadvertently looking at a nipple or two.

It's doubtful that anyone would fire an employee looking at fine art. The more realistic issue is that some coworker might be walking by and catch a 0.5 second glimpse, think they saw something that they didn't, maybe turn it into a bigger thing or at least start a conversation or two about it, and months later maybe a boss is less inclined to give a big raise or promotion, because there's a sliver of a worry that this person might be problematic.

It's never as black-and-white as "boss walks by and fires person looking at art."
