For many years the American Occupational Medical Association (AOMA) has had a committee on medical center employee occupational health services. This committee has met periodically to discuss common problems and issues related to occupational health matters in health-care facilities. Two years ago a task force met to develop guidelines for employee health services which would be the official AOMA statement on this matter. The guidelines were published recently in the Journal of Occupational Medicine and have been reprinted here.
