You can write up a contract or agreement between the two of you, which agreement will include a waiver of liability an agreement by you to not sue or seek compensation for any on-the-job injuries. You can also protect both of you by having adequate insurance especially medical/health insurance and liability insurance in case you accidentally hurt anyone else or damage/destroy property for yourself.
