Is employee color-blind testing required?
The Joint Commission standards do not specifically require either visual acuity or color-blind testing for employees. The HR standards require assessment of the employees' abilities to fulfill the expectations of their job descriptions. Color-blind testing may be utilized as part of an organization's initial or ongoing competency assessment program, but other mechanisms that evaluate an individual's ability to interpret colorimetric determinations would also be acceptable.
