Journal Title: Annals of Occupational Hygiene
Publisher: Oxford University

About the Journal

The Annals of Occupational Hygiene is one of the world's leading research journals in the field of recognizing, quantifying, removing, or controlling hazards and risks to health from work

We are interested in

 recognition and quantification of exposure and risk and their relationship

 management and communication of risks

control techniques, and development of standards of control

 basic mechanisms, for example of hazards or control

We expect papers to use up-to-date approaches to quantifying exposure and risk resulting from work, and we welcome papers that help develop research techniques on these. Exposures of interest are traditionally chemical, physical and biological agents, but may also include ergonomic risks, psychosocial or physiological stressors, or injury risks if they have lessons for the study of risk to health at work or its control

There is heavy pressure on space in the journal, and the above interests mean that we do not usually publish papers which report local conditions without lessons that can be applied more generally, or on health effects without information on causative agents or exposure which could lead to better control, or on infection control unless the risk is mainly occupational. A key question we apply to submissions is, "Is this paper going to help readers better quantify and control risk to health resulting from work
