Key takeaways from our RSA course
- Always follow legislation and licensing requirements when selling or serving alcohol [You cannot mess with this, it can cause you lose $$$]
- Provide accurate information to customers on alcoholic beverages according to organisation or house policy and government legislation [As every action has equal and opposite reaction. So, providing incorrect information can lead to incorrect action by your employer against you]
- A standard drink contains approximately 10 grams of alcohol [Not all glasses hold just 10 grams of alcohol]
- Recognise erratic drinking patterns as an early sign of possible intoxication and take appropriate action [Offer food, water, non-alcoholic beverages and even organise transport if necessary… that's the best you can do]
- Politely decline requests for alcohol to be dispensed [Have the courage to say NO. Do the right thing because it is right]
- Identify customers to whom sale or service must be refused [Minors, intoxicated or disorderly person must not be entertained rather you must demotivate them. And for Minors, be careful, they can be Smart, always ask for proof of age prior to sale or service]
- Identify situations that pose a threat to the safety or security of colleagues, customers or property [These events are unexpected, be prepared to deal with them]
- If necessary, seek assistance from manager or supervisor [Don't try to do everything and anything... It's no harm to involve a more experienced person]
- 'Time' and 'NO alcohol' are the only ways that can sober the effect of alcohol [It's good to take to break every now and again]
