How the fuck does Cal-OSHA have any jurisdiction here when the models are treated as independent contractors by the studios that hire them for specific roles in films?

Because the "independent contractor" designation is an antiquated term that has been continually poked at from all sorts of angles in different courts. Its become nothing more than a red flag in courts to scrutinize a business that uses a term like that to skirt insurance requirements, union issues or other labor laws by using this term rather than "employee."

This is another reason why porn is in trouble; adhering to shitty business contracts, business models and terms that are more trouble than they're worth to just follow a few simple laws.
