Vision tests

Good vision is necessary for workers to perform their work safely therefore, we need to ensure they have good visual acuity adequate for the tasks they perform. Workplace vision testing and a monitoring program should be implemented where employees are exposed to visual hazards, including:
 Hazardous substances;
 Heavy VDU/Computer usage; or
 Where vehicle operation is prevalent

We also take into consideration the type and duration of work undertaken, the equipment the employee uses, and their working environment, to give your employees the best advice regarding their vision and their work.

The results are discussed with the employee and a copy of these is given to them.
Education is given to the employee as well as advice on the use of personal protective equipment.

Referrals are made as required.
A full report is provided to the employer outlining trends/referrals.
