Abstract

Objective To establish a cockroach risk assessment system for key industries during large scale events by risk recognition and evaluation methods, and to apply the system for the cockroach risk assessment in key industries during the Seventh National Intercity Games in Nanchang, China. Methods The probabilities of cockroach infestation were qualitatively or quantitatively defined, and the risk indices for infestation in key industries were determined according to AS/NZS4360:2004 risk assessment matrix. Results Ten key industries were evaluated for the risk of cockroach infestation. Three industries had grade A probability of infestation, 7 industries had grade B probability, and 1 industry had grade C probability; restaurants had grade 3 outcome of infestation, farmer’s markets, teahouses, and night clubs had grade 1 outcome, and the other 6 sectors had grade 2 outcome. According to the risk indices in key industries, restaurants had an extremely high-level risk (E) of infestation, hospital, teahouses, and night clubs had a medium-level risk (M), and the other 7 sectors had a high-level risk (H). Conclusion By establishing the cockroach risk assessment system for key industries, the biohazards of cockroaches in key industries can be predicted. Not only can this system play a good role in early warning, but it can also help us take specific prevention and control measures in the industries with different risk levels.
