Dulliau Gweithredu Iechyd a Diogelwch yn
Dan-yr-Ogof
Gweithgaredd 1
Crynhowch y drefn ddyddiol o wiriadau sy’n digwydd yn yr Ogofâu Arddangos.
Gweithgaredd 2
Mae James wedi egluro yn y fideo bod ymweliadau â’r Ogofâu Arddangos yn ‘hunandywys’. Y tu mewn i’r ogofâu rhoddir sylwebaeth glywedol gan y brodyr Morgan oedd wedi darganfod yr ogofâu. Y dewis arall fyddai cyflogi tywyswyr i fynd â grwpiau o ymwelwyr o gwmpas yr ogofâu.
Gweithiwch mewn parau i nodi’r ‘dadleuon o blaid ac yn erbyn’ hunandywys yn hytrach na theithiau â thywysydd. Ystyriwch y gwahaniaeth o safbwynt yr ymwelydd ac o safbwynt rheolwyr yr Ogofâu Arddangos.
Gweithgaredd 3
Mae copi o’r Asesiad Risg a gynhyrchwyd ar gyfer yr Ogofâu Arddangos ar gael i’w ddefnyddio gan grwpiau ysgol a grwpiau eraill sy’n ymweld â’r atyniad.
Cwblhewch yr Asesiad Risg isod drwy ychwanegu’r geiriau coll o’r rhestr ganlynol:
HIGH, rainfall, torches, daily, professional, MED, secure, safety railings, barriers, pictorial, warnings, mains, LOW.
Notes:
- When the three caves are opened a daily check is undertaken, ensuring the following are all working/in safe order; cave lighting, torches, safety railings, pathways, audio commentaries.
- Staff training packs are designed to back up and further inform all staff of the risks and their responsibilities in the workplace.
- ‘Rules’ for the use of the playgrounds are clearly displayed for all to see and read.
- Showcaves staff checks the following are all in working order - lighting in the caves, torches at the entrances, audio commentaries, pathways above and below ground are clear, the fencing/railings are secure and fit for purpose. This is recorded in a daily book.
- Please note - any groups using this risk assessment should take in to account any and all requirements that their group or individuals (within the group) may require and adjust accordingly.

Showcaves |
All persons in vicinity |
Light failure – LOW |
Back up systems are in place - battery operated lights are inside the cave, a diesel powered generator, and water powered turbine, these are set up to come on when mains power fails. Weekly tests are carried out on this equipment. |
|
|
Head injuries – MED |
The lighting inside the Showcaves is placed to highlight problem areas, and warnings are made where appropriate by the audio commentary playing in the Showcaves. |
|
|
Paths/Steps - MED |
These areas are cleaned as necessary, pictorial signs are used to indicate the appropriate footwear needed, and the fact that we are in a ‘hilly’ location. |
|
|
Flooding (during season) - LOW |
Water pumps are available to use if necessary. Staff are aware of indicators in the Showcaves, these are checked when necessary. Should the area experience high levels of rainfall, additional signs are posted explaining the need for the appropriate footwear etc. |
|
|
Rock Flakes - MED/HIGH |
Barriers are in place stopping people, and signs also indicate the areas of danger,
which are inherent natural hazards, typical of a ‘wild’ cave.
Rock bolting has been undertaken where required – as advised by Geotechnical experts. |
