“OCS is much more efficient, and the fact that they sent three people made the process go much faster and got everyone back to work sooner.”
— Rebecca S., TC Energy Blue Lake Safety Manager

Occupational Care Services provides the vision tests your workforce needs:

Snellen Chart: This is the most widely recognized eye chart, typically with 11 rows of letters printed at increasingly smaller sizes as they go down to the bottom row. This standard chart is a visual acuity test that is used to indicate the smallest letters a person can read from approximately 20 feet away. Eyes are tested one eye at a time.
Ishihara Test: This eye test checks for color blindness, for those who must be able to recognize and distinguish colors. A person is asked to read numbers that are within different sizes of circles filled with various solid colors.
Jaeger Chart: Used for those who must be able to read small print up-close, this exam determines visual acuity. Text in different sizes is printed on a card, and the person being tested holds it at a certain distance and tries to read it.
Titmus Vision Screener: This evaluation checks for eye sharpness. It uses a machine to test a person’s near and distance vision, eyesight through binoculars (both eyes together), peripheral vision, and color perception. This may vary according to the occupation.
Stereo Depth Perception: Using the Stereo Fly test, workers view images through a viewer and identify depth differences between objects. Accurate depth perception is required for equipment operators, drivers, and anyone in a role where misjudging distance creates a safety hazard.

Eye tests for employees can be performed in our office, OCS Network Locations, or on-site. Need respirator fit testing services too? We can handle both during the same on-site visit.

Manufacturing and Industrial Eye Exams

Manufacturing workers operating forklifts and heavy equipment need vision testing to meet OSHA safety standards. OCS performs on-site Titmus eye exams to confirm your employees meet visual acuity and peripheral vision requirements. We can test an entire shift at your facility without disrupting production.

Add workplace safety courses to your vision screening day and knock out multiple requirements at once.

Benefits of Regular Workplace Vision Screening

Workplace vision screening helps you meet OSHA and DOT requirements while reducing workplace safety risks. Regular testing catches vision problems that could disqualify employees from safety-sensitive roles or lead to preventable accidents.

Better Safety Records

Regular vision testing helps maintain low OSHA incident rates by confirming workers meet the vision standards for equipment operation. When your forklift operators, crane operators, and machinery workers pass required vision screenings, you reduce the risk of vision-related accidents that damage your safety metrics.

Avoid Costly Vision-Related Issues

When commercial drivers fail DOT physicals, they can’t work until vision impairment issues are corrected. Equipment operators with poor vision cause accidents that drive up workers’ comp claims and insurance costs. OSHA fines for compliance violations add to these expenses. Scheduling eye tests for employees helps catch these problems before they take workers off the job or lead to workplace injuries.

Our DOT physical exams include required vision testing at both Michigan locations — no appointment necessary.

Schedule Vision Screening for Your Workforce

OCS provides on-site vision testing at your Michigan facility or mobile service anywhere nationwide. We work with construction, manufacturing, and transportation companies to meet OSHA and DOT vision requirements without disrupting operations.
