CANOGA PARK, Calif. – The Division of Occupational Safety and Health (CalOSHA) will hold a subcommittee meeting tomorrow, to discuss standards for the adult industry.
The meeting will be held at 100 S. Main St., Los Angeles, CA, from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and is open to the public.
The subcommittee will meet with the CalOSHA Board of Directors to discuss regulations for bloodbourne pathogen standards for adult industry productions.
In addition to standards proposed by HIV/AIDS advocacy organization AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), the subcommittee will discuss standard revisions proposed by Free Speech Coalition (FSC). FSC has developed proposed
revisions with OSHA compliance experts and adult industry stakeholders.
“It is my hope that this meeting is not designed to carry the political agenda of AHF and others like them, who know nothing about the adult industry but wish to regulate and control it,” FSC Executive Director Diane Duke said. “Whether CalOSHA will listen to the real stakeholders of this issue remains to be seen.”
The subcommittee members, which were appointed by CalOSHA, include adult industry attorney Paul Cambria, FSC representative and industry regulatory expert Kevin Bland, Hot House Entertainment CEO Steven Scarborough, Evil Angel General Manager Christian Mann, Traci Bryant, Dan Leal, Brian Chase, Peter Kerndt, Paula Tavrow, Denise Bleak, Gail Bolan and Frank Strona.
Tomorrow’s meeting is the second of four meetings scheduled to address regulations for bloodbourne pathogen standards for adult industry productions. An additional subcommittee meeting will be followed by a CalOSHA Board of directors meeting, to be held at a to-be-announced location in the Bay Area in October.
The Free Speech Coalition is the national trade organization to the adult entertainment industry. Its mission is to lead, protect and support the growth and well-being of the adult entertainment community.
