September 2006
Sierra Club forms:
At the start of the year:
1. At the beginning of the year, make up a hike schedule. Print this schedule for the year on the back of the Individual Liability Waiver form. The Individual Liability Waiver applies to all activities on this schedule.
2. Make-up a Minor Release form and a Medical form for all activities for the year.
For each Activity:
1. Sign-In Sheet. Only adults sign this sheet. Minors' signature are not legally sufficient in case of liability law suit. This is why we have the Individual Liability form made-up to apply to all hikes at the beginning of the year. If you have students fill in the information on this sheet on the morning of the activity, sign-in will take a long time. Have this information filled in ahead of time; it will save you valuable time. Then you can use this sheet as an attendance sheet and cross out the no-shows. You can have the students initial the sheets if you like. This makes them feel like they are participating in the process. A copy of the Sign-in Sheet must be sent in to the Outings Chair (John Cummings).
Suggestion: If your club roster is made-up with the same information in the same order as the Sign-in Sheet, all you have to do is "copy and paste" the information to make-up the form.
2. The Safety Management Plan is made-up for each activity. We need to do something about this neglect. So far I have made these up for only the over-night activities involving all clubs.
3. Incident Report. This form is made-up if there is a serious incident that occurs.
There are many more Sierra Club forms, but these are the essential ones with which you start. See the forms index page for for a complete list.
For the DOE forms, please check with your Student Activities Coordinator (SAC).
