Volunteer Waiver and Release
Between business name and volunteer name, for volunteering as role from start date to end date.
- What I am doing. I am volunteering. I am not an employee, I am not paid, and I am not entitled to wages, benefits or workers' compensation through this role unless business name tells me otherwise in writing.
- The work and its risks. The role involves: role description. I understand it carries risks that care and instruction cannot remove, which may include lifting, tools, ladders, kitchens, traffic, weather, outdoor ground, and contact with the public. I accept those risks for myself.
- What I agree to do. Follow the safety briefing and the instructions of the person leading, use the equipment provided, work within my ability and say so when something is beyond it, and report an injury or a near miss the same day.
- Who I am working with. If the role brings me into contact with children or vulnerable adults, I will follow the safeguarding rules I have been given, I will not be alone with a child or vulnerable adult where the rules say two adults are required, and I consent to any background check business name requires.
- Confidentiality. I will keep private anything I learn about the people business name serves, and I will not post about them or photograph them without permission.
- Release. To the extent the law where business name operates allows, I release business name, its officers, staff and other volunteers from claims for injury, loss or damage arising from my ordinary volunteering, other than claims arising from their negligence or misconduct that the law does not let a release cover.
- Medical care. If I am injured, I consent to first aid and to emergency medical care, and I am responsible for its cost.
- Photographs. Whether my image may be used, and where, is set here: photo permission.
By signing I confirm that I have read this, had the chance to ask about it, and meant to sign it.
