Attention is drawn to the difficulties which some workers have in identifying colours, a situation which exposes them to serious accidents. Topics: defects of colour vision and their causes, colours which are confused in different types of colour blindness, colour coding, necessity of tests, methods of compensating for colour blindness. |
