SAN DIEGO - The California Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board (Cal/OSHA) "voted unanimously today to create an advisory committee because of workplace violence concerns," reported Alana Evans, President of the Adult Performers Actors Guild (APAG), who attended the meeting.

The meeting was scheduled for this morning after Cal/OSHA issued a Board staff evaluation on October 2 recommending that an advisory committee be convened to consider the following items:

When and how employers could be required to pay for testing via Free Speech Coalition's PASS system.
Require and expand the testing to other types of tests for infections that are not detected in the blood, including swabbing appropriate areas for sexually transmittable infections.
Require the Free Speech Coalition to report production moratoriums to the [Division of Occupational Safety and Health].
Require the testing labs in the PASS system to be certified by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) through the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA).
Require employers to educate employees about HIV preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and offer it in addition to requiring condom use.
