We do it for ALL new hires. The lab verifies that it is done during their CAP survey.

Subject: [MCOH-EH] Color Vision
In a recent MOCK survey, color vision was a hot topic.
I am curious if any repeat color vision testing on employees after the on boarding HA process? If so, could you share your policy, protocol and process ?
Thank you,
