Here are a few tips from our risk management curriculum regarding waivers:

Participant agreements (also known as waivers)

A thorough participant agreement forms include two components that each are valid unto themselves:
1. A thorough description of risks in your program; and
2. A release of rights to bring legal action against the organization for acts of negligence.

Your participant agreement should be written in clear, easy to understand language. Have a legal counsel review your participant agreement. Ideally use a legal counsel who is familiar with recreation law.

Participant agreements are one of the most common questions by organizations who are working on their risk management plan.
