Policy/Guidelines for use of equipment off campus

I'll looking for examples of policies/guidelines governing faculty/staff use of
equipment off campus.
For example if a faculty member takes a school camera to a conference and it is
stolen who is responsible for replacing it?
or
If a teacher takes a school laptop (not one normally assigned to the teacher)
to a workshop or borrows a laptop while they are on a non-school trip and they
drop it and break it... who is responsible for repairing it.

Our insurance coverage has changed so that we have a large deductible (nearing
$1000) so that is not a viable answer to how to deal with it.

Any suggestions or examples would be helpful.
I hate reinventing the wheel when there are so many wonderful resources out
there already done.
