During personal care routines it is important to protect both the individual and the worker supporting them.

This can be done in a number of ways:

• wearing personal protective clothing

• sicrhau bod gweithwyr / gofalwyr yn weladwy ac nad ydynt ar eu pen eu hunain gydag unigolion sy'n derbyn gofal personol
• cofnodi a rhoi gwybod am unrhyw bryderon, marciau neu gleisiau
• sicrhau nad oes ffonau symudol/dyfeisiau electronig mewn ardaloedd newid neu doiledau.
