Alberta Basic Security Training (ABST) Practice Exam 2024

Security professionals generally do not control what at bars?

1. Entrances

2. Alcohol levels

3. Crowds

4. Music volume

The correct answer is: Alcohol levels

The correct answer highlights that security professionals do not have control over alcohol levels served in bars. While they can monitor the environment and observe how alcohol is being consumed, the responsibility for serving alcohol and managing its levels ultimately lies with the bartenders and management of the establishment, who are trained in responsible service practices. In contrast, security personnel are typically responsible for controlling entrances to ensure that patrons are allowed access based on age restrictions or capacity limits. They also manage the crowds, ensuring safety and order within the venue, as well as potentially controlling the music volume to maintain a suitable atmosphere. However, regulating the actual amount of alcohol consumed by patrons is outside their direct authority, making it clear why this choice is correct.
