Penaethiaid a llywodraethwyr ysgolion sy’n gyfrifol am sicrhau asesiadau risg i dynnu sylw at y camau sydd angen eu cymryd i fod yn ddiogel yn yr ysgol. Mae dyletswydd arnynt i ymgynghori â’r cynrychiolydd iechyd a diogelwch i asesu a datblygu’r mesurau rheoli perthnasol. Mae cyfrifoldeb ar y cynrychiolydd iechyd a diogelwch, a ddewisir fel rheol gan undeb llafur cydnabyddedig, i graffu ar yr asesiad risg er mwyn sicrhau ei fod yn diwallu anghenion y staff.
Head teachers and school governors are responsible for ensuring that there is a risk assessment which informs the actions necessary to maintain safety in the school. They have a duty to consult the health and safety representative in assessing and developing the relevant control measures. The health and safety representative, normally selected by a recognised trade union, is responsible for scrutinising the risk assessment to ensure that it meets the needs of staff.
