No, apart from the PSU (see below). 100% of offices have stuff like that
somewhere in at least one room, usually most rooms.


But it would do hard to by a reel of velcro cable tidy tape which can be
cut into lengths and used to bundle that lot up a bit more nicely.

The only bit I deem "at risk" is the PSU that is dangling on its plug: I
prefer PSUs which can get warm and especially ones with plug in leads to
be sitting somewhere they will be ventilated, not get covered in papers
that fall down, not get clouted when that pedastal moves and if they did
overheat (happens) the risk of them setting their surroundings alight is
reduced. And the PSU dangling on the cable may work the plug loose which
can cause arcing and more heat.

But you do not need to report this to anyone - self help! Shove the PSU
on that shelf to mitigate all of the above and gather the cables up a
bit (even if you don't go as far as tying them off).
