Our goal is to build a library with video clips from all industries, but we need your help to make this a success! If you have any incident scene, event, or instructional videos that you would like to share with other TargetSafety clients, please upload the files by clicking here and putting “PreventionLink Video Library” in the File/Video Name field. Please provide the highest quality digital file (.avi, .wmv, .mov, .flv, etc.) you have. Any video submitted will need to include a signed media release form before it will be added to the Shared Video Library.
