Is this move/resize operation safe to perform?

Below are some before and after screenshots of GParted. I simply moved both of the Ubuntu partitions (boot and home) to the left, so that I could resize the home partition (extending it all the way to the right).
The NTFS partition on this drive is not my Windows partition.

Something bad could always happen. Every one will say that to you. So keep backup, just in case. But in practice, I don't think this could cause any problem. Obviously do that from a live usb and not from the running ubuntu on /dev/sda disk.

'safe' is a relative term when mucking with partitions. Always treat partition changes as unsafe, risking total data loss, and backup accordingly before you begin.

Regarding is GParted safe, see GParted FAQ - Is It Safe?
If you move the Linux boot/root partition or Windows boot/C: partition, then you may need to restore the ability to boot.
See GParted Manual - Fixing Operating System Boot Problems and GParted FAQ - Restore Windows Boot.
