I have volunteered for this service to assist the borrowing cooperative in restoring its system. As established by the Wisconsin Job Training and Safety Committee and summarized on page 8 of the WECA ROPE Manual, I will make every effort to insure there is no relaxation of safety during emergency restoration of service. I understand that in the event of my injury while engaged in this service that I will be covered by the worker’s compensation insurance carrier for my employer, the loaning cooperative, as described in the letter from Federated Insurance incorporated into the ROPE handbook. However, I understand that if I am injured in the course of this loaned employment, pursuant to the contract for insurance, I will be considered eligible for Workers’ Compensation benefits at my choice of the benefits for my home state or the state in which I am injured. I also understand that my employer will continue my regular salary, and that, my seniority and other fringe benefits will not be diminished because of my service to the borrowing cooperative.                                Dated  Employee
