There's liability risk involved with every event, every vendor,
every contractor, and every visitor and employee that steps onto
your fairgrounds. Two effective ways to reduce your fair's exposure
are to be a member of the fairs' General Liability Program and to
require that all facility renters, vendors and contractors provide
proof
of insurance coverage naming your fair and the State
of California as additional insureds.
The fairs' General Liability Program, administered by
CFSA and shared by all participating members, provides protection
for risks or liabilities arising from personal injury, including
bodily injury and property damage, in addition to employment practices
liability, public official errors and omissions liability (for District
Agricultural Associations and other public agencies), and non-profit
organization liability, including directors and officers liability
for non-profit corporations. Our Special
Events, Revenue Protection,
and Pooled Property Protection programs
fall under its auspices as well.
Accident Investigations. Should an accident happen despite everyone's best efforts, a thorough accident investigation can help you and your fair prevent similar accidents in the future. To help you with this investigation, we produced a short, informative video: "Accident Investigation Tips and Techniques."
Who should watch it? Fair management, department supervisors and managers ~ everyone in a position of authority who could be called on to investigate an accident.
Note: You do need Windows Media Player to access and view the video. If you don't already have it on your computer, you can download it for free from the Microsoft Web site, www.windowsmediaplayer.com
Ready to watch? The video is just a click away.
If you have a question about any aspect of the General Liability
Program, please contact Charlie
Mitchell.
