“I, am aware that by volunteering for the Department of Public Works there is a high probability that I will be exposed to hazardous situations that are inherent to city work. This includes, but is not limited to: vehicle operations, accidents, contacts with abnormal persons, hazardous chemicals and substances, and other types of bodily harm, etc. I have requested to volunteer with members of the Department of Public Works, with the full knowledge and understanding that there is a potential for bodily injury, including death, and loss or damage to my property. I fully understand the threats to public health related to COVID-19. I understand that it is not possible for the City of Bay City and/or the Department of Public Works to sanitize equipment or substances to which I may come into contact. I agree that effective physical distancing, proper hygiene, and the use of masks can only be accomplished through personal responsibility.
Acknowledging these foreseeable dangers I, do hereby release the City of Bay City, its commissioners, employees, and agents, and its employees and agents from any and all liability for any disease or injury contracted or received while volunteering in any Bay City location. This waiver/release has been completely read and is fully understood and voluntarily accepted on behalf of myself, my spouse, children, heirs, successors, and representatives.
I understand that I am expected to carry my own insurance policy including complete medical coverage.
I further agree that I will take no action whatsoever in any matter.
