It’s important to achieve and maintain a clean clinical environment. Cleaning removes contaminants, including dust and soil, large numbers of micro-organisms and the organic matter that may shield them, for example, faeces, blood and other bodily fluids.
Mae amgylchedd gwaith budr yn un o'r ffactorau a all gyfrannu tuag at gyfraddau heintiau. Bydd safonau glendid uchel yn helpu i leihau'r perygl o draws-heintio.
Mae trin a chael gwared ar offer miniog yn ddiogel hefyd yn bwysig. Er mwyn lleihau'r risg o anaf ac amlygiad i firysau sy’n cael eu cludo yn y gwaed, mae'n hanfodol bod offer miniog yn cael eu defnyddio'n ddiogel a'u gwaredu'n ofalus, gan ddilyn polisïau y cytunwyd arnynt yn y gweithle ar weithdrefnau gweithio diogel. Dylai cyflogwyr ddarparu hyfforddiant ar gyfer pob gweithiwr gofal iechyd.
Mae trin a gwaredu gwastraff cemegol yn ddiogel yn bwysig a dylai fod gan y gweithle bolisi ysgrifenedig ar waredu gwastraff.

Er mwyn sicrhau bod gweithdrefnau rheoli heintiau yn cael eu cynnal ar lefel uchel, mae'n rhaid i bob aelod o staff gofal iechyd fod yn ymwybodol o oblygiadau dadhalogi diogel a'u cyfrifoldebau i'w cleifion, iddyn nhw eu hunain ac i’w cydweithwyr.

One of the ways to maintain a clean environment is to have safe handling and disposal of chemical waste.
Un o'r ffyrdd o gynnal amgylchedd glân yw trwy drin a gwaredu gwastraff cemegol yn ddiogel.
