Occupational Health (EHS-HEA) 
Purpose
This component supports general employee occupational healthcare in your enterprise, as well as the planning and execution of special health surveillance protocols.
Special surveillance is required for those persons who may be exposed to certain influences of a chemical, physical, or biological nature at their workplace, or who perform activities that pose a health hazard. Health surveillance protocols can also include vaccinations or – as in the United States – random drug tests.
Occupational Health comprises the following components:
This component enables you to specify the data that you require for managing the occupational health protocols used in your enterprise. This includes defining and assigning examinations, health surveillance protocols, trigger levels, and so on.
You can use question catalog and questionnaire functions to create occupational health questionnaires. The data required to compile questionnaires is created and managed in the question catalog. Questionnaires can be completed online in the system, or be printed out and scanned into the system again once they have been completed.
This component enables you to determine which persons need to be registered for health surveillance protocols. You can also open medical services and plan the appropriate appointments for each of them.
You use this component to enter and manage all the necessary examination data, such as diagnoses, examination results, work restrictions for health reasons, and so on. You can also import the results of medical tests from external systems. And occupational health questionnaires are also completed in the medical service component.
You can access and edit all the data on the case history of a person, as well as the data on consultations and follow-up activities (medical measures).
This component is used for statistical evaluations of the data.
This component enables you to enter and manage data in the SAP system for any in-company medical treatment. This includes first aid in the event of accidents or minor injuries, treatment of old injuries, or treatment of persons who feel unwell.
Integration

¡ Personnel Administration
You require
master data from the 
Personnel
Administration
component such as name, first name, date of birth, and personnel number (for
the United States, you also need the social security number) in order to use

uses organizational units (object types) from Organizational
Management to assign
agents to persons in the basic data component. You
must therefore make sure that positions, jobs, and tasks are created
there.

You need
master data from Recruitment such as name and first name in order to use
applicant data.
