Old Orchard Beach/Saco Adult and Community Education

Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) training was created by the Maine CDC to give the workers who make decisions about IDs, age, sobriety and their worksite safety (on top of a host of other responsibilities on their shoulders) the best skills and information possible to protect their customers, their staff and their community. Servers and sellers play an important role in reducing the effects of over-consumption and underage access to alcohol. Public health data shows that retailers and restaurant servers impact preservation of local safety. When you and your team are trained in the responsible methods for serving alcohol for safe consumption, your neighbors, families and community all benefit and experience increased safety and well‐being. RBS training helps you to keep your work environment low-stress and thriving. On top of that, being trained in RBS can help individuals and their establishments to avoid fines and lawsuits.
