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 coul
You might consider the ADA act before you go too far down this road. I'm no
expert, but it may apply...

When doing Cat5 connectors, a friend couldn't tell the orange versus brown
(or was it green.) He found that with a red LED flashlight he could then
tell.
There are ways to work around things.
The ADA act does not allow people to have access to every single job
regardless of their handicap. So, if something requires the ability to
see certain colors, then that's a requirement.

Be careful about those "requirements". The ADA requires employers

There's something to be said for doing the test anyhow, and being prepared
to deploy

The simple solution for color perception issues is to carry some cheap
red/green 3d glasses... they would make discriminating between LED colors as
easy as closing one eye:)
The Military has colour screening for obvious reasons but I am not sure if
it's needed for Networking.
My take is that I designed all to have a wide variance. IE: Red, Blue,
Yellow and Black which helped lower issues. Not solve them but if you
limit the use of Red to certain areas (ie: Yellow /

In high school I worked in a men's clothing store for a couple of
years. One of the guys on the floor was pretty much completely color
blind. It was kind of amusing and annoying at the same time as he'd
run over to me when someone was in the dressing room to ask if this
tie matched this shirt etc
I suspect that if this objectively measurable physical infirmity that
actually inhibits one's job function were more common in women than men, it
would be used as a reason to discourage us all from even entering the
profession in the first place.
I can only imagine how making ethernet cables is a pain. The different
colored wires, putting them in the RJ-45. That must be an impossible task
for colorblind people.

Almost any standard that start "this is red and this is green" is
