Color vision testing

Our clinic/lab does not currently screen for color vision. We were recently purchased by a larger organization and they want us to start screening all testing personnel for color vision. Does anyone else do this? Is there an online test that I can subscribe to? Thank you for any help.

Our employees are screened for "visual color discrimination" by Employee Health when on-boarding.
I color blind test all our new employees and students. This is done by using a book with numbers of different colors blended into the circles. I'm pretty sure you could probably purchase one online. The one I have is about a thousand years old and is completely falling apart. It does the job though.
I suggested a book (and sent the Amazon link to the higher-ups) and they replied that they would rather go with an online test if possible. We plan to implement whatever we go with for New Employee Orientation, but we have to go back and screen everyone else who is currently running any tests that require color discrimination (UA, Rapid RSV, FOB I think are the only ones...)
Let me find the url and try it out to make sure it is still active. There is a free online ‘test’ we used in clinics when HR stopped testing. Haven’t used it a while since HR resumed that testing per the lab.
