When boiling eggs if you also want to boil vegetables it might be more efficient to boil them with the eggs rather then use more water and another pan.
Is it safe to do this or should one boil the vegetables in another pot?

As most ways** of cooking eggs call for cooking by time, I wouldn't recommend it.
There's nothing, however, to stop you from fishing out the eggs after they're done, and then warming the water back up to cook your vegetables.
This is easier than than trying to remove one item while leaving the other to continue cooking, or experimenting with correct timing on when to add the second item to have two items done at the same time. (which I do with brocolli florets and pasta, adding the brocolli about 2-3 minutes before the time mentioned on the pasta box ... but I'm also eating the two together, so there's no need to separate them)
**There are some devices that you can keep with your eggs, and then add to the water and they'll beep to alert when they're at various temperatures that correspond to soft boiled, hard boiled, or dipping eggs. I've never used them, but I have one that I was given as a gift last year. You still run into the other problems, however.
