Ensuring Employees are Safe During Alcohol Transactions

Responsible alcohol training goes beyond just selling and serving. Employee safety is a top priority for employers and preparing them for potentially unsafe alcohol transactions is key. RTO’s safety training series is designed to keep employees safe for their entire shift, for both alcohol transactions and all of their interactions in the store.

RTO offers safety training that covers:

  • De-escalating difficult and dangerous situations.
  • Safely refusing alcohol sales.
  • How to handle intoxicated guests.
  • Navigating conflict between customers.
  • Looking out for warning signs of harassment.
  • Unsafe interactions, including drink tampering.
  • Violence in the workplace.

RTO uses real world scenarios to prepare employees for real life situations. A conflict or emergency could arise at any time, especially when alcohol is involved, so it is best to prepare employees in advance.

Training is Key for Alcohol Compliance


Alcohol sales and service specific training for employees is essential for businesses that need to maintain compliance. For the past 20 years, RTO has collaborated with state authorities to develop comprehensive employee training courses and campaigns.

Training content includes videos, white papers, and presentations that aim to educate employees on responsible alcoholic beverage sales and service. Topics covered include, but are not limited to:

  • Checking IDs to prevent selling alcohol to minors.
  • Strategies for preventing overservice and signs of intoxication.
  • Maintaining compliance and certifications on a personal and business level.
  • Understanding the law and types of liability.

To illustrate the above in training videos, RTO uses real people acting out real world scenarios and situations either filmed at real establishments or in our own retail store production studio. Get a preview of our responsible alcohol beverage training by watching the excerpt below.
