Vision Screenings
How do you address the impact of employee visual performance on safety and the bottom line for those who don’t wear prescription eyewear or not regularly visiting an eye care professional? My office can provide a vision screening in your facility which will identify those employees who are lacking in visual acuity (both far and near), depth perception, and color vision. Screenings can be arranged by appointment or conducted at your annual Health Fair.
Most people just assume they can always depend on their eyes for clear sharp vision. Until their vision starts to fail them. I know individuals whose prescription are not up to date will see a decline in their productivity by as much as 9%. Their visual accuracy can be reduced by as much as 38%. Last October; MSNBC reported that the number of individuals putting off doctor visits had grown to 36%.Unfortunately there are those who just accept the way they see. My standing recommendation is your office take advantage of our WIDE document so your employees receive the prescription which is best designed for their job by their examining doctor.
Whether you steer a fork lift truck, assemble parts, operate a machine, or use a computer; your eyes are the drivers. As professionals responsible for employee safety we shouldn’t take for granted employees are seeing as well as they should. Please call my office to discuss your facility’s requirements for employee vision screenings.
