*INFORMED CONSENT:
I understand that any activity has inherent risks,
which could result in harm and/or losses to myself or my child (if appropriate) whether or
not known or readily foreseeable at this time which might result not
only from my own act or omission, but also from the actions, inactions, or
negligence of others, or the condition of the premises or equipment used.
By signing this form, I fully accept all such risks of any injury, damage
or loss, regardless of severity that may be sustained and all responsibility
for losses, costs, and damages incurred in any and all activities
connected with volunteering.
I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the
Bayfield Area Trails Committee member organizations listed below, including
their officers, employees and agents from and against all claims, demands, loss
of liability of any kind or nature for any possible injury or damage
incurred during volunteer service. This includes the City of Bayfield, Town of Bayfield, Town of Bell, Bayfield County, Ashwabay Outdoor Education Foundation,
Landmark Conservancy, Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, and National Park Service.
I understand that my services are being offered on a voluntary basis without anticipation of financial remuneration. While serving as a volunteer, I am not acting in the capacity of an employee or independent contractor of any organization for which I am volunteering. Nothing in the volunteer work I perform shall be construed as creating any employer-employee relationship. I have read and accepted the Top Tips for Field Safety: BAT Volunteer Policies, Procedures - Safety Tips (2024).pdf - Google Drive I understand that these volunteer activities may require frequent bending, standing, walking, picking up objects with hands and tools, using a variety of tools, and conducting maintenance-type activities.
I take responsibility for conducting myself within my physical and mental abilities; and I will refrain from tasks that may exceed those capabilities. The same applies for my child. I take responsibility for my personal tools, including labeling them for easy identification. No accident or other insurance is provided: it is my responsibility to obtain my own medical/health insurance coverage.
**This form must be completed prior to performing volunteer
work. Before signing this informed consent, read this entire document
carefully. If an accident were to occur, you may be giving up legal rights
that you might otherwise have by signing this. If you do not understand this
document, you should not sign it.
