Abstract
Street food vending is found around the world, but has variations within both regions and cultures. Street foods are consumed in many areas. Often sold by street vendors and peddlers, street food is usually ready-to-eat food or drink sold in a street or other public place, such as a market or fair, by a hawker or vendor, often from a portable stall. The present study explores that employment conditions and risks among street food vendors in Thiruvannamalai District. The study explores that street food vendors in Thiruvannamalai District are independent self-employed on whole time as well as part time basis in undesignated market place. Working outside, street food vendors and their goods are exposed to strong sun, heavy rains and extreme heat or cold. Unless they work in markets, most don’t have shelter or running water and toilets near their workplace. Inadequate access to clean water is a major concern of prepared food vendors
