In consideration of being permitted to volunteer at the PTW, I, on behalf of myself and my heirs, assigns, executors, administrators, next of kin, and personal representatives (collectively, “Related Persons”), hereby acknowledge and agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. BBP, OPIMS and COVID-19 (collectively, the “Infections”) can be extremely contagious, and there is an inherent danger and risk of exposure to the Infections at the PTW.

I hereby accept personal responsibility for my voluntary participation in/at PTW, on behalf of myself and Related Persons, of all responsibility of claims and potential claims relating to the risk and dangers described in this Agreement, notwithstanding any assistance that I may receive during PTW or in the future from a Released Party if I am exposed to an Infection. WAIVER OF LAWSUIT/LIABILITY: I, ON BEHALF OF MYSELF AND RELATED PERSONS, HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, IRREVOCABLY, AND FOREVER RELEASE, WAIVE, AND DISCHARGE (AND COVENANTS NOT TO SUE), EACH OF THE RELEASED PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL CLAIMS THAT I AND ANY OF THE RELATED PERSONS MAY HAVE (OR HEREINAFTER ACCRUE) AGAINST ANY OF THE RELEASED PARTIES THAT RELATE TO ANY OF THE RISKS, HAZARDS AND DANGERS DESCRIBED IN THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AND ALL CLAIMS THAT ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE IN ANY WAY TO (I) MY EXPOSURE TO THE INFECTIONS; (II) RELATED PERSON'S OR RELATED PERSONS' EXPOSURE TO THE INFECTIONS; OR (V) ANY OF THE RISKS IDENTIFIED IN THIS AGREEMENT (COLLECTIVELY, THE "CLAIMS"), IN EACH CASE WHETHER CAUSED BY ANY ACTION, INACTION OR NEGLIGENCE OF ANY RELEASED PARTY OR OTHERWISE, NOTWITHSTANDING ANY ASSISTANCE THAT I MAY RECEIVE DURING PTW OR IN THE FUTURE FROM A RELEASED PARTY IF I AM EXPOSED TO AN INFECTION. 12.

  • Sexual Harassment Policy

    National Kidney Foundation of Arizona promotes safe and welcoming environments for all persons who help to support its mission. It has adopted the following Sexual Harassment Policy for the employees in its workforce and has equally applied it to volunteers who give their time to the organization at various events, locations, and environments. Any volunteer who has experienced sexual harassment in their circumstances as described below is encouraged to follow the procedures set forth in this policy by making a report to the volunteer’s coordinator or the Director of Patient Services, the CEO, or the Chair of the Board. Sexual harassment is a type of harassment and is defined as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct/contact of a sexual nature when: 1. Submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual’s volunteer service; 2. Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for volunteer decisions affecting such individual; or 3. Such conduct has the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with an individual’s volunteer performance or creating any intimidating, hostile, or offensive volunteer environment. Some examples of conduct that can create a hostile volunteering environment include, but are not limited to, unwelcome touching, sexually explicit language, obscene gestures, staring, sexual jokes, display of sexually explicit materials, graphic or suggestive comments about an individual’s body or manner of dress, sexual propositions, and derogatory comments based on gender. Complaint and Investigation Procedure Do not assume the Foundation is aware of your harassment problem. It is your responsibility to bring your complaint or concern to our attention so that we can help resolve it. All individuals are responsible for keeping our program free of harassment. Any individual who experiences or observes conduct which he or she believes constitutes harassment should report this problem via the normal chain of command – to the individual’s immediate supervisor, the Director of Patient Services, the CEO, or the Board Chairperson, depending upon which individual is the source of the perceived harassment. These different means of reporting complaints are provided so that an individual does not have to deal directly with a person whom the individual believes engaged in inappropriate conduct. All complaints will be investigated impartially, promptly, thoroughly and in as confidential manner as possible. Individuals are expected to cooperate in the investigative process. If the Foundation determines that a violation of this policy has occurred, appropriate disciplinary action, up to and including termination of the working relationship, will be taken. The Foundation will not tolerate penalization or retaliation against any individual for reporting any conduct which the person believes constitutes harassment or discrimination, for filing a complaint under this policy or for cooperating in an investigation. Individuals who have been accused of engaging in harassment or discrimination will be advised not to take any retaliation against their accuser, including, without limitation, threats, altercation of terms and conditions of work or exclusion from an activity.
