It's draining for any company to be fined by a govt entity - that wasn't the point of my post. The point was that AHF has gone to this step because they havent been able to get what they want from their efforts - all producers using condoms in 100% of all scenes that are produced.
I've been working with CalOSHA for several years on the new regs. There will be ways to work around some of the regs and that's not what AHF wants. For instance they don't want producers to be able not to use condoms for oral scenes even those theres a lack of scientific evidence that HIV is spread through oral sex.
If anyone is concerned with the CalOSHA coming after them then you have to realize that CalOSHA is a small overworked department that is limited in their manpower to enforce all of the existing worker health & safety laws. Cali is a huge state with millions of individual employers and tens of millions of workers.
Im not advocating non-compliance Im just trying to put all of this into perspective. Im the only attorney that has assisted several producers with condom permits in LA county. But I don't take the sky is falling approach other attorneys and other people have taken to 2257 and now these regs. Im just putting this all into content and giving some of the back story.
