2 WORK INSTRUCTIONS These procedures are guidelines to Duty Managers, RSAs and Club members who are assigned responsibilities in the operation of the Club s bar facilities: NOTE: any detailed procedure associated with this section is detailed in Section 3. Accordingly, each task with a detailed procedure will be indicated with its associated Section 3 reference. 2.1 BOM ADMINISTRATION The following are all the given setups that the BOM will manage or have in place to enable Duty Managers and RSAs to perform their role in the bar of the Club: 2.1.1 Bar Manager A Member of the Club is approved by BOM as the Bar Manager for the compliance and operational efficiency/integrity of the Bar. The role of the Bar Manager is detailed in Policy 1.3. 2.1.2 Registration Any individual who is involved with the sale, supply or service of alcohol in licensed premises is required, by law in Western Australia, to be suitably trained and certificated. Also, to operate licensed premises in WA the business must have a certified Licensee. Accordingly, the Club manages the online acquisition of the following statutory certificates from Clubs WA: i. Restricted/Unrestricted Manager The certificate satisfies the training requirement for persons applying for an Approved Manager ID card. Persons can only act as a Duty Manager if they hold an Approved Manager ID card. See Detailed Instruction 3.1 for the online accreditation process. ii. RSA This is the minimum certification required in Western Australia for the sale, supply or service of alcohol in licensed premises. NOTE: It is encouraged by the Club to have all RSAs consider upgrading their certification to Restricted/Unrestricted Manager status. Thus, there would be no requirement for two certificated volunteers to be in attendance when operating the bar. See Detailed Instruction 3.1 for the online accreditation process. iii. Club Licensee This position is held by the Club and a real person (not a business) is nominated as the Manager who is ultimately responsible for all the licence conditions imposed by the Department of Racing, Gaming and Liquor. See Detailed Instruction 3.1 for the online accreditation process. 3

iv. Register of Certificates The Register of all certificates is held by the Club and is maintained by the Bar Manager. The Certificates and associated Register is always available to authorised personnel and is secured in the Bar. See Appendices 7.2 for the current detail contained in the Register. 2.1.3 RSA On The Job Training As a duty of care all newly accredited RSAs will spend at least 10 hours under the direct supervision of an experienced RSA or Restricted/Unrestricted Manager. RSAs will be given operational independence by the Bar Manager as per Policy 1.3 (vi). Note: It is a minimum operational requirement that all new RSAs are familiar with and trained in the content of this document. 2.1.4 Operating Support The following will be in place to ensure bar setup and operation is given its due importance: 2.1.4.1 Access The Club Secretary and House Coordinator will issue and record access key issues and returns for Duty Managers and RSAs. 2.1.4.2 Bar Roster The roster is a complex role with the need to take into account Section playing fixtures, third party hire, individual preferred working hours, physical ability, age, gender and general availability. The roster will be prepared, circulated and posted in the Bar under the supervision of the Bar Manager. Once agreed and circulated the Bar Manager expects that individuals will commit and manage their roster. 2.1.4.3 Bar Pricing Effective the first day of February and September each year the Bar Manager and BOM Executive implement a revised bar price duly ratified by the BOM Committee. 2.1.4.4 Equipment Maintenance The coordination of repairs to Bar equipment is done by the Bar Manager with the support of the BOM.

3 DETAILED WORK INSTRUCTIONS These are the detailed operating instructions for performing certain duties that are referred to in the General Work Instructions. However, given there are close to 40 pages of images and written instructions it was considered prudent that these pages did not form part of this on-line reference document. 4 STATUTORY OBLIGATIONS Alcohol is no ordinary substance. It has the potential to cause harm if served or consumed in an irresponsible manner. As such, it is as a consequence of this that the sale, supply and consumption of liquor needs to be carefully regulated. In this context, one of the primary objects under section 5(1) of the Liquor Control Act 1988 and its amendments ( the Act ) is to minimise harm or ill health caused to people, or any group of people, due to the use of liquor. To this end, the Club is responsible for maintaining, displaying and providing legally required documentation within its licensed premises to minimise harm to its patrons. Legally required documentation must be accessible by all bar volunteers if requested to be sighted by patrons or statutory Authorised Officers¹. This documentation includes: 4.1 For Display i. Club License must contain the license number, name, type, and trading name. ii. Club Plan the plan of the physical area where alcohol can be consumed by Members/patrons. iii. Club Trading Name to be placed above the door entrance. iv. Duty Manager the Approved Manager or Licensee on duty. 4.2 On Request i.

The Director of Liquor Licensing ii. Liquor Licensing Inspectors iii. The Department of Racing, Gaming and Liquor employees iv. Police Officers 4.3 Discretionary Obligation Business Operations Manual Authorised Officers deem a Business Operations Manual to be an important compliance tool to ensure consistency of performance. It also minimises volunteers making uninformed decisions. As a result, the Club has taken the opportunity to make its Bar Management Business Operations Manual (this manual) as its single source of detail for all statutory and discretionary obligations in running its licensed premises. Accordingly, this Manual contains the Club s version of the Act s Business Operations Manual, namely: i. Bar Management Policy these are Club specific policies to ensure that its bar volunteers are well versed in their obligations to operate the bar. ii.
