CTHRC presented an update on the development of the Door Staff National Occupational Standards (NOS) at the Semi-Annual Meeting of the Association of Liquor Licensing Authorities of Canada held February 3, 2009 in Toronto. This one-hour update was an opportunity for CTHRC to introduce and update delegates from all jurisdictions on the development of Door Staff NOS. During the presentation, the delegates learned about these standards and their relation to jurisdictional liquor regulations. The presentation highlighted that Door Staff NOS do not pertain to licensed security professionals. Delegates were advised that occupational standards are a voluntary tool provided at no cost to operators, managers, and educators to support hiring and training activities. It was concluded that the skills, knowledge, and attitudes contained in the Door Staff NOS would likely be helpful for hiring and training any staff who carry out safety-related activities in licensed establishments on a per request basis, part-time, or full-time. This would include Door Staff, Host/Hostess, and Floor Walkers, and could extend to other staff or management in bars, restaurants, or hotels.
