Wedi’i ddatblygu gan y grŵp cynghori arbenigol, a sefydlwyd gan Brif Weinidog Cymru, bydd yr asesiad risg dau gam yn helpu i leihau’r risg i bobl ddal y coronaeirws yn y gweithle.  


Adnodd Asesiad Risg COVID\-19 Gweithlu Cymru yw’r darn mawr cyntaf o waith gan y grŵp cynghori, a sefydlwyd er mwyn edrych ar y rhesymau pam mae pobl o gymunedau BAME yn cael eu heffeithio ar raddfa uwch gan y coronafeirws. Yn drist iawn, mae llawer o’r gweithwyr iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol sydd wedi marw o’r coronafeirws o gefndiroedd duon ac Asiaidd a lleiafrifoedd ethnig. 


Fis Ebrill, lansiodd y Prif Weinidog ymchwiliad brys i ddeall y rhesymau dros y risg uwch i gymunedau BAME a sefydlodd y grŵp cynghori, yn cael ei gadeirio ar y cyd gan y Barnwr Ray Singh a Dr Heather Payne. Roedd yn cynnwys dau is\-grŵp – un yn canolbwyntio ar yr asesiad risg gan yr Athro Keshav Singhal a’r ail yn edrych ar y ffactorau economaidd\-gymdeithasol sy’n dylanwadu efallai ar ganlyniadau’r coronafeirws.


Dywedodd y Prif Weinidog Mark Drakeford:



> Yn erbyn y cefndir o dystiolaeth gynyddol bod y coronafeirws yn cael mwy o effaith ar bobl o gefndiroedd BAME, mae’r grŵp cynghori wedi datblygu’r adnodd asesiad risg yma, ac rwy’n gobeithio y bydd yn helpu pobl i ddeall eu risg o haint a theimlo bod ganddyn nhw bŵer i weithredu i leihau’r risg honno.

> Mae Adnodd Asesiad Risg COVID\-19 Gweithlu Cymru yn ganlyniad ymchwil ac ymchwiliad cyflym iawn gan y grŵp cynghori, ac rydw i’n ddiolchgar iawn am hynny.


Dywedodd y Gweinidog Iechyd Vaughan Gething:



> Mae Adnodd Asesiad Risg COVID\-19 Gweithlu Cymru wedi cael ei ddatblygu i helpu pobl sy’n gweithio yn y GIG ac ym maes gofal cymdeithasol yng Nghymru i weld a oes ganddyn nhw fwy o risg o ddatblygu symptomau mwy difrifol os byddant yn dod i gysylltiad â’r coronafeirws.
> 
> 
> Rydyn ni eisiau helpu pobl i ddeall a ydynt yn wynebu mwy o risg a helpu cyflogwyr i roi camau gweithredu priodol ar waith yn seiliedig ar lefel risg pobl. Rhaid i bawb ddilyn y rhagofalon rheoli haint, fel hylendid dwylo a defnydd o gyfarpar diogelu personol, sy’n lleihau’r risg o gael eu heintio.     
> 
> 
> Mae gan gyflogwyr ddyletswydd o ofal i warchod iechyd a diogelwch pobl yn y gwaith ac mae hyn yn cynnwys deall y risg ychwanegol o COVID\-19\. Mae’r ddyletswydd hon o ofal yn cynnwys sicrhau dull gweithredu cyfartal ar gyfer y staff i gyd.


Dywedodd yr Athro Keshav Singhal MBE, FLSW:



> Rydw i’n ddiolchgar iawn am y modd y mae’r Prif Weinidog wedi gweithredu heb oedi i sefydlu’r grŵp cynghori arbenigol gyda mandad i adnabod a lliniaru’r risg uwch i gymunedau BAME. Mae ein grŵp ni wedi gweithredu’n gyflym iawn gan gasglu’r dystiolaeth orau i feddwl am adnodd asesu risg hunanweithredol ar gyfer holl staff y GIG a’r maes gofal cymdeithasol o fewn pythefnos.
> 
> 
> Mae’r adnodd asesu risg yma’n syml a hawdd ei ddefnyddio i gyflogeion ac i’r cyflogwr ac mae’n darparu llwybr clir i leihau risg ar gyfer y rhai sy’n wynebu risg uchel oherwydd eu hethnigrwydd neu gyfuniad o ffactorau amrywiol, gan gynnwys rhyw ac oedran.
> 
> 
> Bydd lansio a rhoi’r adnodd hwn ar waith yn helpu i leddfu pryderon, yn enwedig ymhlith staff BAME, gan eu grymuso a’u cadw’n ddiogel rhag Covid\-19 a helpu cyflogwyr i gyflawni eu rhwymedigaeth gyfreithiol, foesol a moesegol tuag at ddiogelwch eu staff.


Dywedodd y Barnwr Ray Singh CBE:



> Ers i’r Grŵp Cynghori Covid\-19 BAME gyfarfod am y tro cyntaf ychydig dros fis yn ôl, mae wedi gweithio’n ddiflino er mwyn datblygu Adnodd Asesiad Risg Cymru i ddiogelu rhag COVID\-19 a rhoi sicrwydd i weithwyr rheng flaen Duon, Asiaidd ac o Leiafrifoedd Ethnig yn y GIG ac ym maes gofal cymdeithasol, sydd wedi cael eu heffeithio ar raddfa uwch gan y feirws hwn. Rydyn ni’n gwybod bod mwyafrif y meddygon a’r nyrsys sydd wedi marw yn anffodus o COVID\-19 yn dod o gefndir BAME.
> 
> 
> Bydd yr adnodd hwn yn helpu i stopio rhagor o weithwyr a theuluoedd rhag mynd drwy’r un torcalon â’r gweithwyr dewr hynny sydd wedi aberthu eu bywydau yn ein gwarchod ni i gyd. Ni fyddwn yn eu hanghofio fyth ac estynnwn ein cydymdeimlad â’u teuluoedd.


Cynlluniodd yr is\-grŵp asesiad risg yr asesiad dau gam y gellir ei ddefnyddio ar draws y GIG ac ym maes gofal cymdeithasol. Mae’n cynnwys tabl sgorio syml y gellid ei drosglwyddo ar gyfer ei ddefnyddio mewn gweithleoedd a sectorau eraill.


Gan drafod gyda’u rheolwr llinell, caiff pobl sy’n wynebu risg gynyddol gytuno ar addasiadau i’w trefniadau gwaith neu weithio o gartref.

Developed by the expert advisory group, which was set up by the First Minister, the two\-stage risk assessment will help to reduce people’s risk of contracting coronavirus in the workplace.


The all\-Wales COVID\-19 Workforce Risk Assessment Tool is the first major piece of work from the advisory group, which was set up to look at the reasons why people from BAME communities are disproportionately impacted by coronavirus. Sadly, many health and social care workers who have died from coronavirus have come from black, Asian or minority ethnic backgrounds. 


In April, the First Minister launched an urgent investigation to understand the reasons for the higher risk to BAME communities and established the advisory group, co\-chaired by Judge Ray Singh and Dr Heather Payne. It included two subgroups – one focusing on the risk assessment by Professor Keshav Singhal – and a second looking at the socio\-economic factors which may influence poorer coronavirus outcomes.


First Minister Mark Drakeford said:



> Against the backdrop of growing evidence that coronavirus is having a disproportionate impact on people from BAME backgrounds, the advisory group has developed this risk assessment tool, which I hope will help people understand their risk of infection and feel empowered to take action to minimise that risk.
> 
> 
> The all\-Wales COVID\-19 Workforce Risk Assessment Tool is the result of very swift research and investigation by the advisory group, for which I am very grateful.


Health Minister Vaughan Gething said:



> The COVID\-19 Workforce Risk Assessment Tool has been developed to help people working in the NHS and social care in Wales see if they are at higher risk of developing more serious symptoms if they come into contact with coronavirus.
> 
> 
> We want to help people understand whether they may be at greater risk and to help employers to take the right actions based on someone’s level of risk. People must follow the infection control precautions, such as hand hygiene and use of PPE, which reduce the risk of becoming infected.
> 
> 
> Employers have a duty of care to protect people’s health and safety at work and this includes understanding the extra risk from COVID\-19\. This duty of care includes ensuring an equitable approach for all staff.


Prof. Keshav Singhal MBE, FLSW said:



> I am very grateful for the swift action taken by the First Minister in setting up the expert advisory group with the mandate to identify and mitigate the higher risk for BAME communities. Our group has acted very swiftly in collating the best evidence to come up with a self\-administered risk assessment tool for all the NHS and social care staff within two weeks.
> 
> 
> This risk assessment tool is simple and easy to use by the employee as well as the employer and provides a clear pathway to risk reduction for those found to be high risk due to their ethnicity or a combination of various factors including sex and age.
> 
> 
> The launch and rollout of this tool will help allay anxieties particularly amongst the BAME staff, empower them and keep them safe from Covid\-19 and help the employers in fulfilling their legal, moral and ethical obligations towards the safety of their staff."


Judge Ray Singh CBE said:



> Since the BAME Covid\-19 Advisory Group met for the first time just over a month ago, it has worked tirelessly to develop this Welsh Risk Assessment Tool to protect against COVID\-19 and reassure Black Asian Minority Ethnic NHS and social care frontline workers, who have been disproportionately impacted by this virus. We know the majority of doctors and nurses who have sadly died from COVID\-19 have been from BAME background.
> 
> 
> This tool will help stop more workers and families going through the same heartache as those brave workers who sacrificed their lives in protecting us all. We will never forget them and our condolences are with their families.


The risk assessment subgroup designed a two\-stage risk assessment which can be used in across the NHS and social care. It features a simple scoring table be, which could be transferred to other workplaces and sectors. 


People at increased risk may, in discussion with their line manager, agree to adjustments to their working arrangements or to work from home.
