| Resumen |
Description of a case where a worker's inability, through colour vision defect, to see the blue flame from a small hand-held natural gas torch used in solvering work in a car body plant had resulted in his frequently burning himself and his co-workers. The article then traces the development of scientific knowledge of, and research on colour blindness, with reference to the ILO Encyclopaedia of Occupational Health and Safety, and considers many aspects of colour vision defect (history in early childhood; protan, duteran and trito defects; effects of heredity; race factor; effects of senile cataract; colour vision tests) and job suitability tests (lantern test, etc.). |
