Volunteer programs provide many critical and services within public entities, especially in times of tight budgets and cuts. Volunteer work is no different from paid work as far as exposures are concerned, for the possibility of accident, injury, loss, or damage is always present. When implementing a volunteer risk management program, it must fit well into day-to-day operations and have enough substance in order to constitute tangible proof of due diligence.
