Betty, in our pathology department, and right before our CAP inspection
(every 2 years), our Laboratory Director, will go to each lab, EM, Histo,
Cytogenetics, Cytology, Clinical Laboratory and give each one of us a color
blind test (including pathologist). This is documented and kept in each
ones personnel file. I am not sure if this is part of CAP questions, but I
would look into it. Do your employees get a physical before they begin? It
could be done there also, I would think.
It is the same Color chart that I use to help out in my sons high school
when we were screening for eye exams.
Good luck, Teresa
