Sample Wording

Liability and accident insurance has been purchased for all volunteers engaged in business for the organization. The organization does not guarantee that coverage will be applicable or sufficient in all situations. Volunteers may wish to contact the Administrator of Volunteers or their insurance carrier for further information.

The organization offers insurance coverage to volunteers who are on site undertaking activities on the organization's behalf.

Why?

• It is important that volunteers operate within their job descriptions and follow all policies to comply with insurance guidelines as failure to do so may void insurance.
