WELCOME TO PERMA’s VIDEO LIBRARY
PERMA’s Loss Control Department has assembled a library of Safety Training Videos focusing on municipal operations. We will be updating the catalog periodically and notifying you either through mailings or the newsletter. These videos can be used for:
- safety committee meetings
- departmental training sessions
- staff safety meetings.
Videos are available to all PERMA members at no charge. Additional copies of our updated catalogs are available through the PERMA Loss Control Department by calling (888) 737-6269 or (518) 220-1111, ext. 3039.
Scheduling videos: It is best to order videos as early as possible; a month in advance is recommended. While videos are often available within the week, videos that are in high demand may take a month or more to schedule. In order to help us keep waiting lists short, we allow up to 10 business days for viewing. If videos are required for a longer period of time, please be sure to let us know when requesting the videos. We will be happy to make the necessary arrangements when possible.
Seasonal videos: Please be mindful that these videos are in high demand in their corresponding seasons. They are likely to have a long waiting list and may not be available for extended periods.
Timely return of videos: Videos should be returned in the envelope in which they were received, or a similar package, to minimize the potential for damage. Upon receipt of your videos, please be sure to check your return date immediately. Please be mindful of the needs of other members. The due date noted in your letter is the date the videos should be received by our office; we already calculate in mailing time. We require that they be returned on that date in order for the next member to receive them on schedule.
Method of returning videos: We ask that all videos be returned via Federal Express or Airborne Express. This is so we can track the movement of the videos to avoid loss. When you receive a video, the enclosed memo will list the account numbers to be used.
Proper care of videos: You, the PERMA members, pay for these videos. Please help us to control expenses by taking proper care of all videos. However, normal wear and tear is expected; damage and/or operating problems should be reported to us when the video is returned so that appropriate repairs can be made.
Lost videos: Videos are offered with no charges to our members for shipping, rental or return. Should a video become lost or misplaced, please notify our library immediately. It is expected that the municipality will voluntarily replace the lost video so that our Video Library can be properly maintained.
