| Abstract |
This article surveys the safety hazards encurred by workers who are partially or completely colour blind. The main hazards are inability to distinguish safety colour codes and differently coloured electrical wiring. Exposure to some chemical substances used in industry can also affect colour vision. These substances are listed, together with the colour vision change produced. Ways of testing for colour vision defects are discussed. |
