Tour guidelines and Waivers

[Newbie in CA]

Is anyone being required by insurance company to get visitors to sign waivers?

and/or present visitors with guidelines (what they can and cant do in the space)?

I have not, but WOW!!! what an Idea, and if the violate the space limit i recomend death by torture. Of course after the rain tax Maryland is the most liberal state

Thanks

Yes we were a little confused when they asked us for one too, and at this point we dont plan on having one.

However, if anyone out there has come across this before I'd love to hear a little more about it.

Lawyers are just about the worst people on the planet.

We do not have anyone sign a waiver and we would cheerfully beat any lawyers or insurance agents that suggest it.

We only use waivers for volunteers, for example people helping with bottling. The waiver was reviewed with our insurance agent. We don't use waivers for tours, which we consider part of our retail operation.

Id love to see an example of what a waiver looks like for your volunteers if you dont mind sharing..
