Whether you are an employee or someone who sells liquor as part of a fundraiser, you
are responsible to look after customers in the best way you can to make sure that they
do not cause any harm to themselves, to anyone else, or to property.
If you do not do your duty of care to your customers, you can be - legally responsible for
any harm or damage they may cause.
You can exercise duty of care to your customers by:
Preventing them from getting intoxicated.
Keeping them safe from harm and preventing them from doing harm to other people.
Intoxicated - Alcohol is an intoxicant and it is in liquor beverages like wine, beer, spirits,
liqueurs, coolers and ciders. When a person drinks liquor, the alcohol goes into their
body. If a person drinks liquor faster than their body can get rid of the alcohol, they will
become intoxicated. People who are intoxicated behave and think differently than they
normally would. (People often use the word 'drunk' in place of the word intoxicated.)
When you are at work, you must prevent your customers or guests from becoming
intoxicated. You must also do your best to keep customers or guests from hurting
themselves or from hurting others. - Intoxication and signs of intoxication will be
discussed in detail later in this course.
You must also do what you can to make sure no foreseeable harm comes to anyone.
, Foreseeable harm is - any sort of danger that you can reasonably expect or imagine
happening because of what is going on now.
An example of this would be when a customer drives while intoxicated, and then causes
a car accident. Another example would be if a customer who's intoxicated bumps into
another customer, hurting one or both of them.
Foreseeable harms can happen when someone who is intoxicated hurts themselves,
others or causes property damage. This is because it is reasonable to expect that the
person who is intoxicated could hurt someone, themselves and/or cause damage to
property because they are unable to make good choices or control what they do. -
Foreseeable harms can be prevented if workers take care to sell and serve liquor in
safe and responsible ways.
Everyone who works in a place that sells or serves liquor has a duty of care to their
customers and guests who are intoxicated. - You must do what you can to prevent
foreseeable harm to the customer who's been drinking and to the people around them,
even after they leave. The point at which your duty of care ends is not defined, and is
something you may want to discuss with a lawyer.
Things that you can do to keep yourself, your co-workers, customers and others safe
are called - preventative or proactive steps.
Here are some proactive steps that you can take to protect yourself, co-workers,
customers and others from foreseeable harm and carry out your duty of care if you work
in a liquor store, or if you're in a management or supervisor position.
If you are a liquor store retailer, - Say "No" to customers who appear to be intoxicated,
but try to buy more liquor.
Offer to call a taxi, a sober friend of the customer or a family member to come and pick
up customers who appear to be intoxicated.
Call the police if a customer who seems intoxicated insists on driving. Give the model,
colour and licence plate of the vehicle, and the direction it is traveling in.
Always ask customers to show ID if they appear to be under 25 years of age. Never sell
liquor to minors or adults who you think may be buying liquor for minors.
Do not allow minors to be in a Minors Prohibited licensed area unless they are with their
parent, guardian or spouse who is over 18 years of age.
Tell your manager about any of these situations. Fill out an incident report.
