Abstract
Because many military and civilian employees of the U.S. Army are required to work in environments unlike those experienced by most civilian workers, a project involving a comprehensive assessment of such workplaces was initiated. This assessment involves a two-phase effort in which the first phase consisted of a literature search, interviews with experts, site visits, and limited field environmental measurements. The second phase will include a comprehensive assessment of environmental conditions including lighting at selected military facilities. The present report documents findings from phase 1, including a detailed bibliography of target areas: lighting, stress, and shiftwork. It also includes preliminary results from a visit to two military field stations.
