Liability Waiver

FunHRBanker

We recently incorporated a fitness room into our facility. There is a treadmill, eliptical, and stationary bike. We'd like every employee who uses the equipment to sign a waiver releasing us of liability if they are injured. Does anyone have a sample I can use? It's probably pretty easy to come up with on my own, but why reinvent the wheel?!

This is what we presently use . . .
