Document background
This Safety Waiver Form is essential for Belgian organizations and businesses engaged in activities that carry inherent risks. The document serves as a risk management tool while complying with Belgian civil law, EU regulations, and consumer protection requirements. It should be used before participants engage in potentially risky activities, requiring them to acknowledge understanding of the risks involved and agree to certain liability limitations. The form includes crucial elements such as participant information, risk disclosure, medical declarations, and emergency contact details. While the document provides important legal protection for organizations, it must be drafted to maintain validity under Belgian law, which generally takes a protective stance toward consumer rights and may limit the extent to which liability can be waived.
