My strong feeling is that if you are willing to allow someone to work in your lab, either for money, grades, or as a volunteer, you need to be responsible for their health and safety.  If you commit a negligent act and they are injured, you should be liable.  Otherwise, if you do not wis h to be responsible for what you say or do or don't say or don't do, don't let them in.
 
In my experience, indemnification and hold harmless agreements often do not stand up in court.

We have lab volunteers sign a 'release of liabil ity' form (http:​//www.ogc1.umn.edu/stellent/grou ps/ogc/documents/contract/OGC-SC105W.doc).  If the volunteer is less than 18, the parent or guardian must also sign.   In addition, those working in the lab are to be trained as if they were employees on lab safety, the lab safety plan, pertinent SOPs etc.  Training must be documented and documentation maintained, the same as employees.
