Please read before agreeing, as this constitutes the agreement as a volunteer and the understanding of your working relationship as a
volunteer with the N. C. Baptist Men.
As a volunteer with N.C. Baptist Men projects, I confirm that I am not going as a duly elected representative of my local Baptist
church, Baptist Association, Baptist State Convention of N.C. or N. C. Baptist Men, nor as an employee of the Baptist State Convention of
N.C. or N. C. Baptist Men.
I understand that this work is hazardous and entails risk of physical injury and often involves hard physical labor, heavy lifting,
strenuous activity, long work hours, use of ladders, construction on roofs or other raised surfaces, screws, nails, broken glass, electrical
hazards, falls, unloading supplies, accidents while traveling, cuts, bruises, burns, falling debris, falling trees/limbs, and other hazards
foreseeable and unforeseeable that are associated with this type of activity. I recognize and acknowledge potential accidents at the disaster
site, involving motor vehicles, in or about the living, sleeping and eating areas, or during activities of the disaster relief team; am fully
aware of possible injuries to members of the disaster relief team, including myself. I understand these dangers and certify that I am in
good health and physically able to perform this type of work.
I understand that I am engaging in this project at my own risk. I understand that this is a "grass roots'' activity to support individuals
adversely affected. I assume all risk and responsibility for any damage or injury to my property or any personal injury that I may sustain
while involved in this project, and related medical costs and expenses. I also understand that each individual will have the responsibility of
providing his or her own health and accident insurance in the event of any illness or injury experienced during this volunteer mission.
In the event that the N. C. Baptist Men arranges accommodations, I understand that they are not responsible for my personal effects
and property and that they will not provide lockup or security for any items. I will hold them harmless in the event of theft or for loss
resulting from any source or cause. I further understand that I am to abide by whatever rules and regulations may be in effect for the
accommodations at that time.
Parents are responsible for children that are minors and the church group leader is responsible for youth under age 18.
This waiver, release and indemnity agreement is fully understood by me and I enter the same willingly for the purposes herein above
stated. I understand that this form will remain in effect for this project and all future projects unless myself or a representative of the N. C.
Baptist Men give notice.
By agreeing, for myself, my estate and my heirs, I release, discharge, indemnify and forever hold the property owner, local
Baptist Church, my Baptist Association, Baptist State Convention of N. C and/or the N. C. Baptist Men together with their officers, agents,
servants and employees, harmless from any and all causes of action arising from my participation in this project, and travel or lodging
associated therewith.
