[RPPTL-constructionlaw] Commercial Job (church) with volunteer labor

[Paul J. Kelly]

I recall an argument being made by a church organization that as an
"association" of members the members were essentially considered as "group
owners"- Of course, I don't know the business structure of the church or if
there have been statutory changes since that time.

Subject: [RPPTL-constructionlaw] Commercial Job (church) with volunteer
labor

 

A church owner wants to use "volunteers" from the congregation to do much of
the labor on a renovation.  A GC will be paid to pull permits and actually
supervise and direct the work (not just pull permits and disappear.)  GC is
concerned about liability for these volunteers if they are injured on the
job and would like to address it as much as possible contractually and/or
with waivers/releases signed by the volunteers.  

 

Anyone dealt with this scenario before.  If so, please reply directly to me
