I've used ginger, cinnamon, coriander and a few others. My usual rule is that you add them at flame out. The water will still be plenty hot to kill off any contaminants. Extended boils can eliminate the aroma and flavors. Others may do differently but this works for me.

What setup do you use?
If you use Immersion Chiller then you can throw the goodies in after flameout but above pasteurization temperature.
If counterflow chiller or plate chiller, either at flameout during whirlpool, or previous to pitching yeast.
If concerned about infection, you May five them a soak in cheap rum, vodka or other neutrally flavored spirit...
In my case I drop ginger at flameout to mellow ginger bite. .
