RBST is a training to help alcohol servers create an environment that promotes safety and responsibility where alcohol is sold, served or consumed.
The training stresses the importance of of checking the age ID if anyone that appears to be under the age of 30 years and how to detect fake ID’s.
The training enhances the skills that service people have to avoid difficult situations and gives them the tools to avoid over-serving the intoxicated, serving to the underage person or selling someone that is buying for the underage.
By providing TIPS training to owners/managers of alcohol retail businesses and their staff, the ASAP Coalition and NCDHD are addressing the issues of underage drinking, and drinking and driving across the lifespan.
