Factory Video Reportedly Fined $60,000 by Cal/OSHA (Xbiz) Here's a reminder that Cal/OSHA can still take their own action. Of the "serious" citations, three resulted in $9,000 in fines a piece, including one for failure to maintain an "exposure control plan; a second, for failure to observe and practice "universal precautions" for possible contact with or exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials; and a third for failing to use engineering and work practice controls to eliminate or minimize employee exposure to “… minimize splashing, spraying, spattering, and generation of droplets of… blood or other potentially infectious materials."

| pringles All-Star Member 1351 Posts 2/08 | Posted - Jan 24 2014 : 12:06PM ruling by the Cal/OSHA Appeals Board in the Treasure Island Media case Condoms are mandatory for porn production in California, an administrative law judge has ruled. The AIDS Healthcare Foundation, which has been fighting for laws that explicitly require prophylactic use in adult film, last night called the decision by a California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) judge a "landmark decision" that affirms "barrier protection" applies specifically to the porn business. AHF spokesman Ged Kenslea told us that one of the most important aspects of the ruling ... ... is its affirmation that performers are indeed employees due protection under under workplace safety rules. The group has long argued that federal law prohibiting exposure to bloodborne pathogens such as sperm at the workplace applies to California's adult performers. The industry has said that porn stars are very part-time workers who paid per "scene" as independent contractors. The ruling by Judge Mary Droyovage wrote that, without condoms, there is "substantial probability that employees would suffer serious exposure resulting in serious physical harm or death if violation occurred." Kenslea said AHF's stance is that the ruling applies only to condom use and that it does not mandate dental dams, surgical masks, eye protection, gloves and other gear feared by the industry. more at the link above [Link] |

| pringles All-Star Member 1351 Posts 2/08 | Posted - Jan 31 2014 : 5:17PM There's really nothing new there. The Appeals Board just upheld things the way Cal/OSHA has been doing them for years. Cal/OSHA already considers condoms mandatory under 5193 (Bloodborne Pathogen Standard) and performers are considered employees. ----- Kink fined $78,000+ by Cal/OSHA (Xbiz) SAN FRANCISCO — Adult film producer Kink.com is firing back at Cal-OSHA after it announced fines against the company in excess of $78,000, Kink said in a release. According to Kink, the majority of the citations are related to relatively minor issues, such as extension cord violations and paperwork, which it believes are due to its ongoing overhaul of the 100-year-old National Guard Armory where its shoots take place. However, the largest fines are related to the company’s policy of allowing performers to choose whether or not to use a condom. [Link] |

Pregerson's ruling denying a preliminary injunction to Vivid Entertainment Group and its co-plaintiffs, including performers Logan Pierce and Kayden Kross, was argued this morning before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, with the three-judge panel asking pointed questions to both the appellants and the appellee, which in the current situation is AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) rather than the lawsuit's official defendant, Los Angeles County. more at the link above [Link] |

I thought Hof was a libertarian, why would he support mandated use of condoms in porn? [Link] |
| whatsatelephonebill Senior Member 2935 Posts 10/11 | Posted - Jun 1 2014 : 11:29AM Measure B is just about LA County. If 1576 passes, it applies to the whole state, so moving out of LA County wouldn't be enough, and you'd see a serious flight to Las Vegas/Nevada. Edit: And Hof would support it because Hof hates porn, and more specifically hates what porn has done to the girls he's had that got into it (for example, he blames porn specifically for Isabella Soprano moving on from the the sex industry and has a few videos out there where he talks about it).

| Cloudburst Deactivated User 392 Posts 1/14 | Posted - Jun 1 2014 : 5:06PM I found the video that you mentioned. In it Dennis Hof says Isabella Soprano got involved with some "bad people" in the porn industry. He also says Soprano got involved in "skank porn" by which I'm assuming he means any porn outside the type where women get put on pedestals and ridiculously overpaid (e.g. Jenna Jameson). I think that's Hof's whole gig - he rips off men dumb enough to visit his "Bunny Ranch" and pay some ridiculous amount of money to sleep with girls who aren't even that hot (half the girls at his place are 4's and 5's at best). On top of that I believe there are cameras in every room of the brothel, so basically you're paying an ugly girl a lot of money to fuck her on camera... sound like a pretty good deal, LOL [Link] |

| Cloudburst Deactivated User 392 Posts 1/14 | Posted - Jun 25 2014 : 1:22AM ... Why are condoms in porn such a big deal for people? I definitely prefer viewing porn without them but it's the female I enjoy watching, so it's not the end of the world if a dude has on condom since I'm mainly paying attention to her and not the guy (or his penis). What are your thoughts? Edited by - Cloudburst on 6/25/2014 1:24:36 AM [Link] |

| pringles All-Star Member 1351 Posts 2/08 | Posted - Jul 15 2014 : 6:43PM TARZANA, Calif. — ATK (Amateur Teen Kingdom) and AMKingdom.com owner Kim Nielsen recently agreed to pay about $8,000 in fines to Cal/OSHA for citations issued over three workplace violations, XBIZ has learned. Nielsen told XBIZ that the fines, stemming from an anonymous tip over film shoots, were halved after he and his company agreed to incorporate a certified safety expert for all films shot by the porn studio. In June, Cal/OSHA issued citations to ATK over failure to maintain an effective injury and illness prevention program, failure to implement an effective exposure control plan and failure to implement precautions — such as condoms — to prevent potentially infectious exposures during vaginal intercourse. more at the link above [Link] |

The committee, which did not vote on the bill, will meet Friday, Aug. 15, to decide whether the piece of legislation is approved or nixed. [Link] |

| pringles All-Star Member 1351 Posts 2/08 | Posted - Aug 7 2014 : 11:42AM LAS VEGAS — The AIDS Healthcare Foundation has filed its first shot in Nevada against an adult entertainment company. Late Wednesday, the organization said it filed a complaint last week with Nevada OSHA against Kink.com over a recent filming that may have exposed performers to infectious disease by exposure to blood and other potentially infectious materials. In the complaint, officials from AHF said that a June 8 shoot for the studio’s HogTied.com film, “Hogtied Whores,” broke labor rules. San Francisco-based Kink last month said that it had moved some production to Las Vegas and has opened an office there, as well. [Link] |
| pringles All-Star Member 1351 Posts 2/08 | Posted - Sep 10 2014 : 4:34PM CHATSWORTH, Calif. — Jake Cruise, operator of the namesake gay adult production company, today criticized a recent Cal/OSHA complaint that led to $11,360 in fines levied against his company's studio for workplace violations. Jake Cruise Media — offering content on JakeCruise.com, CockSureMen.com and SG4GE.com — received the fines in early August for citations issued for not having an exposure control plan ($5,400), for not observing precautions over bloodborne pathogens ($5,400) and for not having an injury and illness prevention program ($500).

| pringles All-Star Member 1351 Posts 2/08 | Posted - Feb 19 2015 : 2:46PM HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Michael Weinstein, the president of the AIDS Healthcare Foundation and proponent of the proposed California Safer Sex in the Adult Film Industry Act, has revised the ballot measure's language that, in particular, punishes adult film producers with harsher civil fines for noncompliance of the mandatory condom drive and its regulations. Adult filmmakers, according to the proposed ballot measure’s new language, could face fines of up to $70,000 for making falsehoods upon certification that condoms are used in productions. Recordkeeping violations would amount to fines from $1,000 to $7,000, with repeat offenders on the hook for up to $15,000 per violation. Corporations or limited liability companies also would be faced with Cal/OSHA fines of up to $1.5 million when a violation to the measure results in death or permanent impairment to performers or even stage crew. AIDS Healthcare Files Final Draft of Its Condom Ballot Measure (AVN/Mark Kernes analysis) LOS ANGELES—The AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) yesterday filed its final draft of its statewide mandatory barrier protection ballot measure, which it has titled "The California Safer Sex in the Adult Film Industry Act." The filing marks the beginning of a month-long comment period, when state residents may express their support of or displeasure with the measure. At the end of the comment period, AHF's team of professional signature gatherers will need to collect 365,880 signatures on ballot measure petitions by September of this year in order for the measure to appear on the November 2016 statewide ballot. more at the links above [Link] |

At the public hearing to be held May 21, any person may present statements or arguments orally or in writing relevant to the proposed action that would significantly alter California Code of Regulations Title 8 § 5193, and mandate barrier protection, including condoms, to shield performers from contact with bloodborne pathogens, or other potentially infectious material during the production of films. more at the link above [Link] |

| Maxxx Stirner Deactivated User 319 Posts 11/14 | Posted - Jul 18 2015 : 12:08PM I happen to think that Bechamp was less wrong the Pasteur on the subject of disease and what causes them. It's because we opt for the latter paradigm that we have this notion of disease emanating from 'agents'. What porn needs is a health strategy more then anything to control things like free radicals and create a healthy body standard for performers to follow. That way disease rates will plummet. AIDS is a pile rubbish. To by into the current view you have to believe that germs primarily cause disease(they don't) and you have to believe in the existence of an immune system(no such evidence exists). For HIV you have to entertain the existence of exogenous viral entities, again no such evidence exists. Until these paradigmatic assumptions are challenged, people like Weinstein will continue to have their day. [Link] |

| whatsatelephonebill Senior Member 2935 Posts 10/11 | Posted - Jul 18 2015 : 11:35PM The issue last time is that AHF was out there campaigning and putting up billboards like 5-6 months before the election, while FSC and the rest of the industry didn't really do anything until about 2 months before the election, and even then it was a couple Youtube videos and some op-ed pieces in the local papers. And attempting to rally their fans, but their fans aren't who they need to be talking to because the vast majority of them don't live in California and won't be voting on this. They need to be getting on TV, getting on the radio, getting out there in the communities and talking to people, and not just hoping that talking about it on Twitter will be enough to sway the vote. And they need to start doing it early, like at the end of this year or the start of next year early. Beat AHF to the punch, and be the first word people hear about this.

| killbillvol69 All-Star Member ^Lucy Pinder 18634 Posts 4/08 | Posted - Jul 20 2015 : 1:27AM It becomes a lot different for them when they have someone dressed like a 'normal' person, standing in their kids' gymnasium on a Tuesday evening, saying "look I'm a woman who makes a living at this, and this is what's best for my body." In many areas that can actually have traction. But in just as many areas, it's a hard sell to get people to not just think "look at this evil porn star; I'm going to do whatever she doesn't want me to, simply because she is evil." [Link] |
| whatsatelephonebill Senior Member 2935 Posts 10/11 | Posted - Jul 20 2015 : 2:29AM Yeah, you can't really go out to the middle of the state and necessarily expect to find an audience that's willing to listen, but if I were them I'd start simple with the huge cities where there's already performers and companies there that can do outreach (LA, San Fran, San Diego), and on college campuses, which tend to be more liberal and have more people willing to listen, and those students can take your message back to wherever they live and spread it that way.
