5 Signs Your DSE Process Is Quietly Drifting
<p><span>When organisations think about DSE risk, the focus often lands on obvious issues — discomfort reports, poor workstation setups or equipment requests.</span></p><p><span>But what happens when the bigger risk isn’t the workstation itself… but the process behind it?</span></p><p><span>In this episode of </span>Ergonomically Speaking…<span>, Niamh explores how DSE systems rarely fail dramatically. Instead, they often drift slowly over time as organisations grow, ways of working evolve and responsibilities become less clear.</span></p><p><span>From repeated assessment findings to unclear ownership, reactive approaches and outdated processes struggling to keep pace with hybrid working, this episode looks at the subtle signs that a DSE process may no longer be working as effectively as it once did — even if everything still appears compliant on the surface.</span></p><p><span>🔗 Read the accompanying blog post:</span></p><p><span> </span><a href="https://boyneergonomics.ie/5-signs-your-dse-process-is-quietly-drifting/" target="_blank">https://boyneergonomics.ie/5-signs-your-dse-process-is-quietly-drifting/</a><span> </span></p><p></p><p><strong>💬 Let's Keep the Conversation Going!</strong></p><p><strong>Have a question, a tip, or an “aha!” moment from this episode?</strong></p><p><a href="http://www.boyneergonomics.ie/" target="_blank">www.boyneergonomics.ie</a></p><p><span>Instagram: boyne_ergonomics</span></p><p><span>Bluesky: boyne-ergonomics.bsky.social</span></p><p><span>LinkedIn: </span><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/niamhpentony" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/niamhpentony</a></p><p><span>TikTok: @niamh_boyneergo</span></p><p></p><p><strong>🙌 Thank You for Listening!</strong></p><p><span>If you found this episode useful, share it with a colleague in HR, Health & Safety or Operations.</span></p><p><span> Subscribe for more evidence-based ergonomics insights, and if you’re planning your 2026 ergonomics strategy, get in touch — I’d love to help.</span></p>

Compliant vs Suitable: Why the “Perfect” Office Chair Isn’t Always the Right One
<p>What if the “perfect” office chair… isn’t actually right for you?</p><p>In this episode of Ergonomically Speaking, I unpack one of the most common — and most misunderstood — issues I see during DSE assessments: the difference between compliance and suitability.</p><p>Because here’s the reality:</p><p> A chair can tick every box on a compliance checklist and still contribute to discomfort.</p><p> And equally, a chair that doesn’t meet every standard can sometimes work perfectly well for the person using it.</p><p>So how do you decide what’s actually right?</p><p>This episode explores the gap between what looks right on paper and what works in real life — especially for those working from home.</p><p></p><p>👉 Full blog post: <a href="https://boyneergonomics.ie/compliant-vs-suitable-why-the-perfect-office-chair-isnt-always-the-right-one/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://boyneergonomics.ie/compliant-vs-suitable-why-the-perfect-office-chair-isnt-always-the-right-one/</a></p><p></p><p><strong>💬 Let's Keep the Conversation Going!</strong></p><p><strong>Have a question, a tip, or an “aha!” moment from this episode?</strong></p><p><a href="http://www.boyneergonomics.ie/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.boyneergonomics.ie</a></p><p>Instagram: boyne_ergonomics</p><p>Bluesky: boyne-ergonomics.bsky.social</p><p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/niamhpentony" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/niamhpentony</a></p><p>TikTok: @niamh_boyneergo</p><p></p><p><strong>🙌 Thank You for Listening!</strong></p><p>If you found this episode useful, share it with a colleague in HR, Health & Safety or Operations.</p><p> Subscribe for more evidence-based ergonomics insights, and if you’re planning your 2026 ergonomics strategy, get in touch — I’d love to help.</p>
