Free TIPS training for employees of businesses that sell/serve alcohol products will take place from 9 a.m. to noon March 5 in the Stark County Sheriff’s Department training room at 4500 Atlantic Blvd. NE in Canton.
TIPS trains servers of alcohol how to prevent intoxication, drunken driving and underage drinking. This training empowers your employees to take a proactive approach toward preventing alcohol misuse and maintaining control of the environment.
By training your staff to recognize the signs of intoxication, you can reduce the chance that an alcohol-related incident will occur.
Trained servers show your customers that you care about them and want to make their visits to your establishment as pleasant as possible.
Employees who successfully complete the training will be state certified.
The benefits of having a TIPS trained staff may include compliance with state and local regulations, protection from alcohol liability lawsuits, decreased penalties for alcohol violations, better bottom line through lower insurance premiums, improved customer service and satisfaction, increased staff professionalism, and improved business and community relations.
