Train Driver Color Blind
New research from the Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB) will help more people with colour vision deficiency (colour blindness) work in safety-critical railway roles, such as train driving. An initiative between the Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB) and train drivers' union ASLEF is enabling more people with colour blindness to work as train drivers Being able to see and distinguish colours is, naturally, an important requirement for safety-critical roles on the railway, with the 'Ishihara test' commonly used to check for colour vision deficiency. The test works by.
A new report by researchers from City St George's, University of London for the Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB) has revealed the potential for safer and fairer color vision assessment protocols for train drivers. The study, "Defining Colour Vision Requirements for Train Drivers," suggests adopting a new two. The study, Defining Colour Vision Requirements for Train Drivers, suggests adopting a new two.

UK: More people with colour blindness will be able to work in safety critical railway roles such as train driving as a result of research undertaken by the Rail Safety & Standards Board at the request of drivers' union ASLEF. The Ishihara test commonly used to check for colour vision deficiency presents a series of coloured plates with numbers or patterns hidden within a field of dots. This.
The Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB) have announced a new two-step approach when assessing colour vision deficiency (colour blindness) Until now, the commonly used Ishihara test has been used to assess train drivers and other safety. Colour blind drivers will be allowed to work across Britain's rail network after union bosses pushed for changes to safety regulations. Train drivers with colour blindness are very rare, mainly due to the use of coloured signals across most railway systems.

However, you can become a Tube train driver! The new protocol would also result in a three-fold reduction in the severity of colour vision loss among those who pass the test, but still have a colour vision deficiency. As coloured lights are important for the safe operation of railways, train drivers are required to pass a colour vision test. New research from the Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB) will help more people with colour vision deficiency (colour blindness) work in safety critical railway roles, such as train driving.
