What is one of the highest risks when staging a healthy living and eating event?

Posted by admin on August 9th, 2010 and filed under healthy living | 6 Comments »

I have to write a lot about this, about how policies and procedures may affect the situation. Maybe from an ethical viewpoint. That sort of thing-any ideas – Please?
Your answers are really interesting and they are inspiring me to write in more detail. I’m going to have to maybe talk about the risk of exercising.

Well, from the top of my head…

a) noone turning up
b) inaccessible venue due to external events
c) cultural factors for food being inappropriate eg pork for muslim visitors etc
d) fire from cooking equipment if applicable
e) being fined for littering and/or noise

Hope this starts you off thinking!

    Health and safety
    Food hygiene regulations
    Waste/rubbish from the event itself
    Public nuisance/noise
    Traffic problems/blocking roads
    Council regulations

    These things may point you in the right direction. Hope this helps.

    How can one be sure of the food quality standards? (IE, is the food cooked all the way through).

    In my university, student orgs must purchase any food. IE: a student org did a bake sale but they had to buy all of their cookies (they were not allowed to make them) according to university requirements.

    I’ve answered assuming you want to know a risky food, not about running the event. A top level food risk would be deep-fried food. So, battered fish, and some burgers. Other foods high in fat and salt would be ready-meals.
