FSA's Alcohol Training Program   Safety Before Service 

Today's biggest issues are brought to the forefront. 
Lessons cover essential information, including alcohol laws and responsibilities, evaluating intoxication levels, dealing with difficult situations and checking identification.

Real-world expertise makes a real difference. 
The ServSafe Alcohol program was developed with input from experts in the restaurant, legal, regulatory, academic, insurance, medical and law enforcement fields. Together, they determined the tasks that the front-of-the-house needs to know. It's a holistic approach that helps assure everyone has the training they need to serve alcohol responsibly.

Why should I train my employees in responsible service? 
The challenges surrounding alcohol service have increased dramatically. There are rising alcohol liability premiums and more sophisticated fake IDs. Stricter dram shop laws and a more litigious environment are also a constant concern.

Who is liable if alcohol is sold illegally?
All members of your establishment's staff must understand their liability regarding alcohol service. Being liable means having legal responsibilities, and if individuals do not act in accordance with those laws it could result in:

  • Fines
  • Imprisonment
  • Loss of liquor license
  • Closing the establishment

Types of Law and Liability include:

  • Criminal Liability If found criminally liable for serving a minor or a guest who is or appears to be intoxicated, the server and/or the licensee can face fines, probation or jail time depending on the state. The operation could lose its liquor license, have to pay fines and may feel significant consequences in the cost of their insurance.
  • Civil Liability If found civilly liable for contributing to a guest's injury, the server, the owner/licensee and the operation all face the possibility of large monetary settlements. Depending on the size of the judgment, this could result in bankruptcy and will most certainly bring hefty court fees.
  • Dram Shop Laws allow for an establishment and its owners and employees to be sued by someone injured by a patron who had been drinking alcohol at the establishment.


Do I get any benefits or insurance discounts if I train my employees?
 
Yes.
Protect your establishment and your front-of-the-house staff by getting the proper responsible alcohol training. And talk to your insurance broker because many brokers and underwriters offer credits or discounted rates on liquor liability insurance for having responsible alcohol service policies and procedures in place.
