NY State Liquor Authority Alcohol Training Awareness Program (ATAP)
We are inviting owners or managers to attend the initial 2-hour training session, where you will receive a 3-year ATAP certification and have the opportunity to enroll your staff in the training program. You can choose to send staff to weekly training sessions at the Oceanside Library or our trainer can schedule a training session and compliance check at your store.
A 2-hour class provides your license and staff 3-years of protection!
Having your staff trained and certified in ATAP provides many benefits and protections for the licensees, employees, our youth and community:
- Licensees can see a reduction in liquor liability premiums and civil liability penalties.
- Employees will learn their rights, responsibilities, and liabilities regarding underage and intoxicated customers.
- Stores will establish a standard policy to address checking IDs and supervising their premises.
- Employees will learn to recognize valid forms of ID and proper responses to underage and intoxicated customers.
Collectively, through this SAFE campaign licensed premises can play a large role in creating a safer Oceanside for everyone!
