Vision Screening is an essential occupational health assessment used to confirm that employees have the visual capability required for their role. Poor eyesight can lead to reduced performance, accidents, and safety risks, especially in safety-critical jobs such as forklift operation, driving, construction, and manufacturing.
At Clarity Occupational Health, we provide tailored vision screening programmes that ensure your workforce meets industry standards, supports HSE compliance, and helps prevent avoidable accidents.
Even minor visual impairments can increase the risk of workplace errors and accidents. Routine screening detects issues early, ensuring employees get timely treatment or corrective lenses and remain safe at work.
Visual acuity (distance and near vision)
Colour vision (where job-critical)
Visual fields (peripheral vision)
Depth perception & contrast sensitivity (for safety-critical roles)
Corrective lens compliance (checking employees meet required standards with glasses/contact lenses)
Construction and engineering staff working with machinery
Safety-critical workers (e.g. working at height, transport, heavy equipment)
Roles requiring colour differentiation (e.g. electricians, technicians)
Every check results in clear fitness status:
Fit
Fit with adjustments

A short assessment of eyesight and visual ability to confirm employees meet role-specific safety requirements.
Vision screening usually checks distance vision, near vision, colour vision, and sometimes depth perception and visual fields.
Workers in safety-critical roles such as forklift drivers, transport, construction, or roles needing accurate colour vision.
At baseline (pre-employment) and at regular intervals, usually every 2–3 years, or sooner if health issues arise.
They may be referred for a full eye examination. With corrective lenses, most can continue safely in their role.
