Safety & Health Video Library & Resource Center Policy
Library materials are available for loan in Washington State only.
- All transactions must be made through the Safety & Health Video Library & Resource Center.
- Videos are checked out only to you solely for your use.
- You may not at any time loan them to someone else.
Videos must be returned on time
- Three late returns will result in immediate cancellation of borrowing privileges.
- You must return videos by traceable carrier.
Traceable Shipping Only
- Your only cost for use of the video materials is the cost of return shipping by traceable carrier such as UPS or Fed Ex.
- Delayed shipping of videos must be by guaranteed overnight delivery service.
- If you prefer to use the US Postal Service, you must use registered mail only.
- If you or your shipper loses or damages a video or DVD, you will be charged for the full replacement cost at the current vendor’s price, plus taxes, shipping, and handling.
- When shipping by UPS or Fed Ex (or some other commercial shippers) your package is automatically insured for only $100. You may want to purchase additional coverage.
- For your information, the average cost of each VHS or DVD is $500.
All borrowers, including state employees, must use a traceable shipper unless personally delivering videos to the Central Office Service Location in Tumwater during regular operating hours.
Respect the Copyright
- Unless specifically noted in the catalog and on the materials themselves, all library materials are fully protected by copyright under Title 17 of the United States Code of Federal Regulations.
- Unauthorized duplication of copyrighted materials will result in immediate cancellation of borrowing privileges and possible fines under Federal law.
One week loan
- You can borrow up to five videos for 1 week.
Six Month Feature
- You can schedule videos up to six months in advance.
Advance Notice
- Please give us one week notice before you want to show videos. The videos
will
arrive 1-2 business days before your show date. - Please use the current Reservation Form posted on line to order videos.
- Thurston County residents must pick up and return videos in person.
Allow at least
two days for scheduling and one day for pick-up.
Handle videos with care
- Please be sure to rewind all VHS videos and place each one correctly
in its proper
case. - VHS videos can be easily damaged by forcing them into cases backwards
or
upside-down. - DVDs, if not securely fastened on the hub, will slide around in the
case causing
scratches and damage during shipment. - Protect videos from excessive heat or inclement weather during shipment.
- Video media damaged beyond repair will be charged to you at current
replacement
cost as if it were lost.
Returning videos
- When using a delivery service such as UPS or FedEx, use the printed
address on the
reverse side of your shipping label. - If you choose to ship via US POSTAL SERVICE Registered Mail we recommend
that
you purchase insurance to protect you in case of loss. - Address video shipments to:
Department of Labor & Industries,
Safety & Health Video Library
PO Box 44607
