In recent months, a few Habitat affiliates have experienced serious claims, including one where a volunteer fell from an open second story because no fall protection was provided. Claims like these don’t result in just a few hundred thousand dollars. They result in millions. Protect your affiliate from serious claims with these tips:
- Take safety seriously.
- Make sure volunteers are trained. Utilize our free safety courses.
- Have ALL volunteers sign waivers annually.
- Always have a supervisor onsite when work is taking place.
- Review your policies and make sure you have all the coverage you need.
