From avn.com Cal/OSHA Fines Evasive Angles and TTB Productions for HIV Exposures By: Scott Ross 09-16-2004 CHATSWORTH, California - Evasive Angles and TTB Productions, both adult companies owned by T.T. Boy, have each received citations from California's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Cal/OSHA) totaling $30,560 for violations of health and safety regulations related to the exposure of three performers to HIV earlier this year. The citations are the first of their kind in the adult industry, and are notable for classifying adult talent as employees, not contract employees. “Employers in the adult film industry must know how to protect their employees from health and safety hazards and understand the consequences of failing to comply with state regulations,†said Vicky Heza, Cal/OSHA’s deputy chief of enforcement, in a statement released to the media. The employment status of adult talent was the subject of heated debate during the HIV crisis that began when Darren James was diagnosed as HIV-positive in April of this year.

That case will probably be a stepping stone for something bigger if they win. The Asscroft power rangers of doom are on the case.

And I don't think even Vegas can measure up even though it's a good candidate.
Not true about the whores here....they go where the companies are...if the companies were here, there would be no shortage of girls. Each strip club has literally hundreds of girls.

Because there are many ways I'm sure they can come up with to make movies as good as they are today without Cal/OSHA sending out fines
Not if CAL/OSHA doesn't want them to.
OSHA agencies do a great job of driving up costs and putting companies out of business even when they don't have that as a goal. OSHA-style regulations and paperwork is the best way to smother porn companies once it dawns on the Radical Right that while courts might reject outright banning porn, maybe embrace and smother might be allowed.
This is what NAFTA was about. Most companies didn't move for cheaper paychecks - those with high enough labor/transform cost ratios had already gone overseas - but rather to escape worker's comp and OSHA regulations on employees.

Besides, good luck finding as many whores in other states compared to what you have in CA. You'll never have as much as you have here... and you know companies are always hungry for more. I don't think any other state can keep up.
Other states don't need to keep up: the girls already go where the work is.
Sineplex uses very few American girls or scenes in their releases. After a few rounds of CAL/OSHA paperwork and additional regs, worker's comp, insurance requirements, etc, I expect a lot of companies to look a lot more like Sineplex.
The main difference in my view is that I see the current fines as no more than an effort to set precedent that performers can be treated as ordinary employees. The rules are light to help survive a court challenge on that point. Once the precedent is in place then the rules they really want will be unveiled. Releasing the full set of regs up front might unite porn companies to fund a lawsuit and influence courts.
The other view is everyone seems to assume a reasonably benign OSHA that will issue what they think are good rules but that's it. I'm wondering what happens when anti-porn people are appointed to head CAL/OSHA, people actually want to shut down porn companies. They do exist, and they will try to get that job.
