    Breaking News: The Witchhunt Has Begun. OSHA Now Visiting L.A. Agencies

    OSHA is currently interviewing employees at one of the larger talent agencies today. From what has been reported, After a complaint by a male talent who requested a condom on a shoot, was told it was non-condom and could walk, chose to shoot without a condom and contracted an STD, OSHA is now trying to figure out who's to blame when porn talent comes down with STD?s. Since Agencies work for and are paid by their talent, talent cannot be considered employees. However, this is going to get interesting for the production companies who do cut checks to talent.
    More updates will be filed HERE.

    The state is broke so I guess they figure it's take to get some money out of the porn biz. Little do they know it's not doing as well as it was years back...

        OSHA is federal govt.. They can pretty much shut down any business in the US. My mom had a staff leasing company for a while and we went through hell with OSHA because of a disgruntled employee.

              They asked me not to say for the moment, but it's one of the larger ones. All of them will be visited in the coming days.

                  Occupational Safety and Health Administration. They are the feds who make it necessary to hang those stupid signs in the bathrooms telling employees to wash their hands before returning to work. They can literally come in and shut your business down. They are basically the rule Nazis for every rule you could conceive for working in this country.

                  Most folks don't know about OSHA unless they work some kind of labor-type job, like a wrench turner or construction worker, but they can shut down Starbucks or your corner store just as fast...They are to be recognized and FEARED in this industry, but only if you're running a business...which is just about everyone on this board. Read up, GFY. It starts in Cali, but these are feds.xxx
                  Still not where I should have been by now...time to take matters into my own hands...

                        So how do you go from the LA DOH investigating a single case to your statement that ALL production companies are going to be visited in the near future by OSHA? Did you actually talk to someone at OSHA? I can't believe that they would just volunteer information as to who they plan on investigating.

                                Why would you consider this a "witch hunt"? They're simply responding to a complaint by someone who contracted an STD.

                                  OSHA has been looking for a way to shut down the porn shoots for years now, ever since the HIV problems back in '04

                                                Maybe it will force porn to start shooting with Condoms. Which seems like a great idea to me.....re-enforce the idea of safe-sex to the viewing population. Nothing but good things could come from such a new rule.

                                                1) Must shoot with condom (at least during anal shoot)
                                                - exceptions: married---- wife/husband duo (who have tested)

                                                What ya think?

                                                        That is just being plain retarded. OSHA has been around for a long ass time. They always have been busting and investigating businesses. Typically when they get their sights set on a business that business is going to get fucked in someway no matter what. I am fairly certain there is no way to comply with all of their rules without violating other rules.

                                                        I had a pissed of customer make some false reports to OSHA when I had my comic shop. They showed up and just found shit to fine me on, like they could not actually think of leaving without fining me. They came in on some false reports, nothing that was even reported was wrong yet they started poking around and well I ended up with a list of shit to fix and a little over 2500.00 in fines. Worst part was I got hit for some accessibility issues which was just plain fucked up.

                                                          1) Must shoot with condom (at least during anal shoot)
                                                          - exceptions: married---- wife/husband duo (who have tested)

                                                          What ya think?
                                                          this removes all fantasy, not many like to see condom porn. And keep in mind, once they start forcing condoms, that WILL INCLUDE BLOWJOBS.

That was verbatim from an employee that was interviewed by OSHA at this first agency. They are definitely looking for Productions Companies and Producers info.

The story remains the same, just the fact of male/female talent changed, and I corrected it as soon as I heard. I don't think that has a big impact on the rest of the story.

Both agencies (apparently) refused to release the information. This may be just a temporary respite... expect the Feds to be on the case.
