work-safe

Suitable for colleagues

Work-safe describes content appropriate for viewing in a workplace—nothing sexual, violent, or otherwise likely to get you in trouble if a boss or coworker glances at your screen.

The term emerged from internet culture, where links are often labeled to warn readers what they're clicking: Is this link work-safe?

The opposite is NSFW (not safe for work).
