ServSafe Workplace — Study Guide
Free, topic-by-topic study notes for the ServSafe Workplace exam. Read a chapter, then practice it.
What Sexual Harassment Is
ServSafe Workplace is the National Restaurant Association's harassment-prevention training line for the foodservice and hospitality industries. The foundation of the course is a clear, shared understanding of what sexual harassment actually is, so every team member can recognize it. (Topic groupings and weights on this page are PrepPass study groupings, not an official ServSafe blueprint.)
Building a Respectful Workplace
Beyond defining harassment, ServSafe Workplace uses scenario-based learning to emphasize the human impact of harassment and each employee's shared responsibility for a respectful, inclusive culture.
Reporting and Responding
Knowing how to report harassment — and, for managers, how to respond to a report — is a core outcome of the training. The employee and manager editions both cover this, with the manager edition going deeper on a manager's duties.
Legal Basics and State Mandates
The training is designed to align with EEOC guidelines. This chapter covers the well-established legal fundamentals every restaurant worker should understand. It is educational and is not legal advice; employers should confirm the specific rules that apply to them.
Bystander Intervention
A workplace where coworkers are willing to notice, support, and speak up is one of the strongest defenses against harassment. This chapter covers safe ways for a bystander to help. (Bystander intervention is a well-established harassment-prevention fundamental included here as part of PrepPass's study groupings.)
