Visual performance and accident frequency

Abstract

A comparison was made of the visual performances of 42 accident-prone and 42 accident-free employees on the Bausch and Lomb Ortho-Rater. In 3 visual skills—acuity worse eye (near vision), acuity right eye (near vision) and color perception—differences exceeded the 5% level of significance. A comparison with Stumpf's similar previous study indicates that different patterns of visual skills may be required for safety on various jobs in different industries.
