Abstract A systematic summary of publications and documentation regarding working environment factors and the state of workers' health in several branches of the Danish economy not covered by other publications in this series. These branches cover a very diverse range of activities of which defence and civil defence are the most important. (Areas not included are hotels and restaurants (CIS 96-1729), cleaning, laundries and dry cleaning (CIS 96-1718)). The most important problem is noise. Other problems are strain injuries, skin diseases, accidents, respiratory diseases, indoor climate, stress and bad lighting. In defence and civil defence the main problem is noise, followed by strain injuries and skin diseases, cold, heat and vibration. In public sanitation the main problems are accidents, strain injuries, skin diseases and biological agents which cause stomach and intestinal complaints. Sewage treatment has the same main problems as public sanitation plus vibration and indoor climate. In hairdressing the main problems are skin and respiratory diseases caused by cosmetics and strain injuries. The police and judicial system have special problems with accidents and psychological stress.
