Certainly. Try to find appliance rated CFL bulbs which are designed to operate in that sort of environment with humidity and vibration.

Yes. The only precautions are if the fixture fully encases the bulb and doesn't allow any ventilation. In those situations, the bulb may get too hot. Also, be aware that they contain a small amount of mercury. As long as the bulb isn't broken, the mercury is not released.
