Vision Screening
Vision screening should be undertaken annually especially for employees who have end stage QA tasks. A qualified Occupational Health Nurse will check your employees near and distance vision and also check for red/green colour deficiencies. All screening is done against recognised standards Ishihara’s Tests for Colour Deficiency, distance vision Snellens chart and near vision N-Series Chart approved by the Faculty of Opthalmologists. Sometimes called for is an ocular co-ordination test and this is tested using the Maddox Wing.

Spirometry
A spirometry test will measure the amount of air in the lungs and the amount a person can breathe out in one second. This will help to determine how the lungs are functioning.
