Government to introduce manadatory responsible service of alcohol training
Source: ACT. Attorney General. Media Release
"Attorney General Simon Corbell has announced that the Government will introduce mandatory responsible service of alcohol (RSA) training for liquor licensees and bar staff to reinforce the broader harm minimisation principles embodied in the ACT Liquor Act. The Government will give consideration to extending the mandatory training requirement to all staff involved in the service of alcohol including bar staff, security guards, floor hostesses, room service staff and bottle shop staff, he said. Including security guards in mandatory responsible service of alcohol training may assist the identification of intoxicated persons at the initial point of entry to a venue, where access can be refused.”
