If you or your staff completed RSA training prior to 30 June 2013, your OLGR-approved RSA certificate will expire 3 years from the date of issue. This is due to the change in regulation of training providers from Queensland's OLGR to the Australian Government
Licensees are responsible for ensuring that all staff that serve or supply alcohol have the appropriate certification. Penalties apply for licensees who fail to comply.
The following people must complete RSA training within 30 days of starting employment and maintain a current RSA training course certificate during their employment:
-
the licensee (if an individual), unless trained in RMLV
-
any staff member of the licensed premises who is involved in the service or supply of liquor at the premises. This includes bartenders, glass collectors, floor staff and room service staff. It does not include people that are trained in RMLV, such as approved managers.
Topics covered:
-
Sell or serve alcohol responsibly
-
Assist customers to drink within appropriate limits
-
Assess alcohol-affected customers and identify customers to whom sale or service must be refused
-
Implement harm minimisation strategies to minimise likelihood of customer intoxication, e.g. by promoting food, low-strength drinks and non-alcoholic drinks
-
Monitor customer behaviour and refuse service to intoxicated patrons in a polite manner, stating reasons for refusal
What to expect - This course looks at how to apply harm-minimisation strategies that reduce the likelihood customers will become intoxicated, by identifying those who are consuming alcohol irresponsibly or showing signs of intoxication, and stopping serving them. You will be asked to view videos like the one shown below, read information that identifies how to assist in preventing intoxication, the sale and supply of alcohol to minors, understand signage and legislation including penalties in relation to the irresponsible service of alcohol. You will learn strategies on how to refuse the sale and service of alcohol.
