ServSafe Alcohol Program raises the bar in responsible alcohol service
training an certification. ServSafe Alcohol is today's real-world
training solution, with practical knowledge and best-in-class resources
that help to prepare and protect every operation every day.
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. Understand the liability regarding alcohol service
and avoid fines, imprisonment, loss of liquor license, and/or the
closing of your business.
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 [in some states], 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.
Talk to your insurance broker because many brokers and underwriters offer credits for training or discounted rates on liquor liability insurance for having responsible alcohol service policies and procedures in place. IF YOU ARE SERVING LIQUOR AT THE SHOW, YOU MUST HAVE A VALID ALCOHOL SERVERS CARD.
