Thursday Morning: California Embarks on Setting ‘Condoms in Porn’ Health Regulations

California’s Department of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) will explore strengthening adult film worker safety regulations in California during its next regularly scheduled Standards Board meeting (Item # IV “B”) on Thursday, March 18th in Costa Mesa. The action comes in response to a petition filed in December by AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) seeking an amendment to broaden the Cal/OSHA’s “bloodborne pathogens” workplace safety regulations to better encompass adult film industry worksites.

At Thursday’s meeting, state officials will consider Cal/OSHA’s own staff’s recommendation to create an advisory panel to determine whether—and how—to amend state health statutes to better protect adult film workers. Several former adult entertainment actresses, a current producer/director/performer as well as several public health advocates will testify at the meeting in support of Cal/OSHA’s creation of an advisory panel as well as ultimately changing state health regulations.
