Procedures for Use of Liability Release

It is your responsibility as advisor to the student(s) participating in the Activity to check the Activity to determine in advance the risks associated with the Activity. This will require you to contact the organization and inquire as to loss/safety, supervision and work site safety. Please make sure the following occurs:
  1. Before distributing the Release, fill in the blanks and the examples of particular risks associated with the Activity.
  2. Distribute the release sufficiently in advance of the activity to give each prospective participant a chance to read it and think about it.
  3. In any oral or written communications accompanying the Release, make clear that the Release is voluntary (in the sense that the Releasor is not required to participate in the underlying activity).
  4. Give prospective Releasors an opportunity to ask questions about the Release.
  5. If a student is not 18 years of age, they will need to obtain their parent/guardian's signature.
  6. Be sure you get back and keep in your files the original, signed Release from each participant.
