Colour Blindness
Entry to the industry is not allowed if you suffer from colour vision deficiency (commonly known as colour blindness). Unfortunately, if a young person does, we will not be permitted to allow them to take up a JTL apprenticeship. This is a serious safety issue as, given the nature of the work involved, any accidents that could happen, could be lethal.
Once their application has been accepted all candidates must arrange with an optician to have a colour vision test and provide us with evidence of “absence of colour deficiency” (i.e. a passed colour vision test) using the JTL Colour Vision Certificate. Any optician will be able to conduct this test and provide them with the results.
If they do not provide the appropriate evidence they will not be allowed onto JTL's Approved Applicant List and to progress with their application.
Candidates can obtain a copy of the JTL Colour Visio Certificate on the JTL Young People website. If necessary, you can print off a copy of the Colour Vision Certificate below for them. Whilst you are contacting us, advise candidates to take the form along to their local optician and ask them to carry out the test and complete the form for them.
