I IRC from work all the time, it is not all that unsafe if you know how it works and what not to do. Such as disabling DCC and not foolishly clicking on links or disclosing information that you would not want others to obtain. I find it a great way of communicating to a like minded group.

Then again, if it is for play and not understood, it isn't recommended from a work environment. But then again, I do only frequent my own IRC network, which helps.
