TIPS ( Training for Intervention ProcedureS ) and CAPS ( Continuous Accident Prevention ) Ray Mullaney

-- Caps & Tips Chairman

As Printed in the Official Office Manual for Moose Lodges

By now, every Lodge should know that all their servers of alcohol are required to be certified in either the TIPS (Training for Intervention ProcedureS) program or another state/provincial approved server training program. We also strongly recommend that social quarters managers and all officers attend a class so they are familiar with the laws and can support their bartenders’ efforts. Regardless of the program you use, all servers are required to be recertified every three years.
You are responsible to make sure copies of the servers’ certificates or cards are available for onsite inspection and that copies are sent to the Risk Management Department at Moose International.

They may be sent by fax (6308596624), email or regular mail

Alcohol Server Certification Board Resolution

Each Lodge is required to have the Board of Officers sign a resolution pledging that all persons involved in serving alcoholic beverages under their license will have current, up to date training certification, that all such persons will obtain recertification prior to expiration and that all new employees and volunteers will obtain training certification within 30 days of assuming server duties and will only work under the supervision of a certified bartender during that time.

This Resolution is available on the Risk Management Web pages at Moose International, and must be sent to the Risk management Department. This form cannot be revoked by the board so it is now binding on all future boards of each lodge. If your lodge completed the old form, you must now complete and submit the new form.

          Moose International has mandated that all persons serving alcohol beverages in any Moose Lodge be trained and certified in any approved responsible beverage service program. This applies to all persons serving alcohol beverages; that is, bartenders, waitresses/waiters, or any other category of persons delivering beverages to patrons. This includes volunteer bartenders, and volunteer servers.

          The Virginia Moose Lodges have four Certified TIPS Trainers located in various parts of the state so there should be no difficulty for any Lodge to arrange for beverage server training. The Certified Trainers and their contact information is listed at the top of this document. Additionally, most major beverage distributors have a TIPS Trainer on-staff, so “in a pinch”, they may be contacted.

          The in-class training method is preferred as our trainers cover not only server training, but material that Social Quarters Managers must know to comply with State of Virginia laws, as well as material specific to the Loyal Order of Moose. However, in cases where it is impossible for a server to attend an in-class training session, there is an on-line version of the TIPS program at www.gettips.com. By arrangement with Moose International, Health Communications Inc (HCI) offers a discount to Moose servers, if the promotional code “Moose08” is typed on the “Review Registration” page. The regular on-line registration is $40.00, but with the 40% discount it is only $24.00. Here are the instructions for registering for on-line certification.:

1. Go to www.gettips.com/eTIPS.shtml
2. Click on “Take Online Course”.
3. Complete the registration form and click on “Register”. (Select training for "restaurant, bar, hotel, nightclub, or movie theater) You will receive a short state regulatory message before coming to the payment form.
4. On the payment form, be sure to type Moose08 in the promotional code field.
5. Complete the payment information (credit cards only), (be sure to type "Moose08" in the promotion code field), and take the eTIPS course.

Social Quarters Managers are reminded that if a new server is hired, he/she must be trained and certified within 30 days. He/she may work under the supervision of a certified server during that 30 day period.

Lodges may contact a trainer directly. Anyone having questions about the TIPS program should contact Jerry Lloyd, (Certified TiPS Trainer) at (804) 472-2450 or igl@crosslink.net.

To all District Presidents, (except 3, 5, 9 and 10):

Now is the ideal time to schedule the Orientation for New Officers and Committee Chairmen for the 2009 year. As always, it's better sooner than later. Hopefully, all other Districts will have their dates and host Lodges by our Mid-Year Convention.

You may contact me anytime at: 703-777-7467 or larrystocks2@aol.com

Will see everyone in January!
