SP Brewery conducted a Responsible Service of Alcohol Training (RSA) with 18 individuals from the Australia Pacific Training Coalition (APTC) on Friday 16th, August, individuals with experience working in the tourism and hospitality sector.
The training was done with the purpose of informing and educating participants on the how’s and why’s of serving alcohol safely to consumers.
SP Brewery’s Corporate Affairs Manager John Nilkare welcomed the participants enthusiastically and spoke on how they would benefit from this training.
“While working in your respective areas you may come across some of our customers, and they wish to have trained and experienced individuals engaging in safe alcohol service.”
He further encouraged the participants to ask a lot of questions in order to gain more knowledge about SP Brewery.
The students were later briefed on the brewery’s safety procedures, which was led by SP Brewery’s Safety Manager, Geraldine Makui.
Afterwards, they were taken into the brewery for a tour.
During the tour, participants experienced first-hand the processes involved in producing alcohol.
After the tour, selected employees of SP Brewery were tasked with educating the 18 individuals on various topics concerning alcohol.
Topics included, the history of SP Brewery, it’s products, different types of alcohol, the side effects of alcohol, how to engage with drunken customers and further safety procedures.
Participants were given the opportunity to practice serving beer before actually serving the staff of SP Brewery later on as part of their training.
