Update: There seemed to have been some confusion on whether it was Cal-OSHA or the California state health dept. that was questioning several porn talent agencies regarding a female performer who contracted an STD. It was Peter Riley, district manager and Deborah Gold, senior industrial hygienist from Cal-OSHA who acted on the complaint.

Earlier, posted on www.pornnewz.com: OSHA is currently interviewing employees at one of the larger talent agencies today. From what has been reported, After a complaint by a female 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 news as it comes in.

Pornlaw, Mike Fattorosi, writes on www.xxxporntalk.com: I was told that it was LA County Health Department and not Cal-OSHA. Though, Cal-OSHA might get involved at a later date.

So far I have been advised that 2 agencies have been asked for information on producers and have not yet provided any information to LA County Health and are currently investigating their options.

I am currently looking into what options the talent agents may have in this matter…

Pornlaw tells me that Cal-OSHA has dropped off letters to three agencies asking for information on production companies.

“All I know at this point is that, based on the complaint, Cal-OSHA’s trying to match it to who the production company was.”
