2. I understand and agree that it is possible that I may be injured or otherwise harmed during volunteer service due to accidents, acts of nature, my negligent or intentional acts, or the negligent or intentional acts of others; that while the SRSFL has taken some steps to reduce the chances of injuries or harm to a volunteer, SRSFL has no control over most risks, and thus, cannot and does not guarantee nor take any responsibility for the safety a volunteer or the volunteer’s property while the volunteer is engaged in volunteer service. The volunteer must take full responsibility for himself or herself and assume the risk of harm or damage while serving by taking all necessary and reasonable precautions and acting in a manner that will help protect himself or herself and his or her property.
3. I agrees to waive and release SRSFL from any and all potential claims for injury, illness, damage, or death which I may have against the SRSFL that might arise out of my service and to hold the SRSFL harmless there from. I agree and understands that injuries or losses to others, such as other volunteers or the person(s) being helped, may occur as a result of the my negligent or intentional acts during volunteer service and that to avoid such harm, I must exercise care and act responsibly in serving others. If any injury or loss to another does occur due my intentional actions or due to the my negligent actions arising outside of the scope of the my activities, I must accept the liability for and repair, or make reparations for the harm done.
4. I must maintain his or her own primary medical insurance and his or her own automobile liability insurance to cover potential medical and other costs related to the volunteer service. All costs for injury or loss above the coverage provided by my insurance are my personal responsibility. In projects where I agree to transport others by vehicle, the I will be required to provide proof of automobile insurance in order to participate as a driver. I am also encouraged to maintain property and life insurance coverage while serving as a volunteer.
5. Since volunteers are not SRSFL employees, the SRSFL does not provide worker’s compensation coverage for injuries or illnesses to the volunteer arising out of volunteer activities.
