Someone sent this in to me.
At it?s March meeting, the California Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board requested that the Division of Occupational Safety and Health, Cal/OSHA, convene an advisory committee to provide an opportunity for full discussion of possible changes to the Bloodborne Pathogens Standard as it applies to the adult film industry. ( Title 8, California Code of Regulations, Section 5193). The decision was in response to a Petition #513.
We have scheduled the first advisory meeting for Tuesday, June 29, 2010, at the Cal/Trans Building at 100 S. Main Street, Room 1.040 A, Los Angeles, from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Approximately two weeks prior to the meeting, we will circulate an agenda for the meeting, and will also circulate any proposed language for discussion. Within the next few weeks, a webpage will be established for this advisory committee, which you will be able to access from
http://www.dir.ca.gov/dosh/DoshReg/a...committee.html.
You can find the Board?s proposed decision, the Board staff and Division evaluations and the petition at:

http://www.dir.ca.gov/Title8/5193.html.
Unfortunately, we are unable to provide a web or phone-in option for the meeting. However, detailed minutes will be taken, and posted on the advisory committee page on the DIR website. A notice about disability accommodation is below.
