Hospitals have diverse employee populations and environmental hazards such as bloodborne pathogens, chemicals, gases, radiation, chemotherapeutics, and heavy/repetitive lifting which require a situation specific approach in counseling and assessment. A major frustration in hospital employee health practice is insufficient staffing. Hospital worksites have excellent staff resources to channel employees and facilitate counseling and health teaching when EHS staff are limited. EAPs in hospitals are logical extensions of the employee health service either as direct providers of the service or as referral sources.
医院员工构成多样，且存在多种环境危害，如血源性病原体、化学物质、气体、辐射、化疗药物以及重物搬运/重复性提举等，这就需要针对具体情况进行咨询和评估。医院员工健康工作中的一个主要难题是人员配备不足。当环境、健康与安全（EHS）工作人员有限时，医院工作场所拥有出色的员工资源渠道，可用于引导员工并促进咨询和健康教育。医院的员工援助计划（EAP）是员工健康服务的合理延伸，既可以作为该服务的直接提供者，也可以作为转诊来源。
