Maybe giving them access to a colormeter? :)

Hello,

Do any of you do any color vision screening in your interview process?
How
do those of you with color vision impairments compensate? I'd never
considered this until I was in one of our facilities with my son (who has
limited color vision) and we had a discussion about the LEDs. He could
only
determine on/off - not amber/red/green on the equipment we had. I'm
wondering if we need a color vision requirement (or test) as part of our
hiring requirements.
