Young, III, L L; Mossman, P B

A color-vision test battery that will classify personnel according to the severity of their color vision abnormality is recommended for use at Sandia National Laboratories. These tests will result in improved job placement of color-vision-deficient personnel and thereby reduce the possibility of job discrimination without adversely affecting safety, health, or logistics. Preliminary etiological and pathophysiological aspects are discussed briefly.
