Halfway through 2025 – are you still ignoring DSE risk assessments?

Halfway through 2025 – are you still ignoring ergonomic assessments?

As we roll into the second half of 2025, one question continues to hover uncomfortably over far too many organisations:

Are you still putting off ergonomic assessments and health & safety reviews?

If so, what exactly are you waiting for—2026 to deliver the same avoidable issues all over again?

At All Set Workplace, we’ve spent the first half of this year helping teams move beyond reactive fixes and into proactive, sustainable safety culture. And we’ve seen it time and again: ignoring ergonomics and workplace wellbeing is one of the most common—and costly—blind spots, especially in today’s hybrid world.

The real risk of delay

Let’s be clear: brushing off ergonomic reviews doesn’t make the problems go away. It just means your team suffers in silence until those small aches become serious injuries.

• In 2023/24, UK workers lost over 7.8 million working days to musculoskeletal disorders—up 18% from the previous year (Cardinus).

• Thousands of remote staff still haven’t had a proper ergonomic assessment since the shift to home working began (SHP Online).

• More than 1 in 3 employees are working from setups that wouldn’t meet even the most basic health & safety standards.

When these issues are left unchecked, you’re not just risking discomfort—you’re opening the door to reduced productivity, increased absences, and potential legal exposure.

The hybrid hazard zone

Hybrid work is here to stay. And while policies may have shifted, one thing hasn’t changed: your legal and moral responsibility to keep your team safe—wherever they work.

From poorly positioned laptops to mismatched chairs, the risks of remote working environments are still too often ignored. Without regular ergonomic assessments and a structured health & safety approach, things can spiral:

• Repetitive strain injuries (RSI)

• Chronic back and neck pain

• Eye strain, fatigue, poor posture

• Lack of movement and increased sedentary risk

At All Set Workplace, we believe this isn’t just about compliance—it’s about showing your team that you genuinely care about their wellbeing.

A message for leaders: act now, not later

If you’ve not reviewed your ergonomic and health & safety approach this year, chances are your people are already feeling the impact. Sore backs, stiff necks, poor posture—they’re not “part of the job”. They’re red flags.
