About the Journal
Annals of Occupational Hygiene is one of the world's top research journals on hazards and risks to health resulting from work. The journal is particularly interested in recognition, quantification, management, commuincation, and control of risk. It includes papers on basic mechanisms, human aspects and technology, and on environmental risks to humans when these are linked to risks at work.
Topics covered include:
- chemical, physical and biological agents
- measurement and control
- process design
- ergonomics
- protection
- occupational toxicology
- epidemiology
- assessment and management of risk
- education and training
There is heavy pressure on space in the journal. We do not normally consider the following types of paper:
reports of health effects without corresponding information on causative agents and exposure, unless the effects are unexpected and likely to be of wide interest;
papers on infection control unless the problems are primarily occupational.
The journal has a very wide geographical spread, with about 60% of our papers coming from continental Europe or North America. The median time to conduct peer review and give the authors a first decision is less than 7 weeks. Papers are usually published on-line less than 8 weeks after acceptance.
Annals of Occupational Hygiene is published by Oxford University Press for the British Occupational Hygiene Society
