I had several meetings with CalOSHA about these regs. At one point they seemed willing to work with the industry. They were actually going to take the position that condoms/dental dams were not going to be necessary for oral or they would at least grant variances on a company by company basis as to the regs.
For some reason they completely changed and have gone back to more of a hardline stance. I don't see how the industry will stop the passage of the regs as they are currently written. Vivid for the most part lost their Measure B challenge in federal court.
Once approved by Cal OSHA they will go to Fed OSHA for approval. And if approved by Fed OSHA, the same regs can be adopted by any state in the US - without a vote. This could be the first step in a national condom law.
