LOS ANGELES – Porn stars could soon be forced by law to wear goggles in California. The guidelines laid out last week by the state’s Division of Occupational Safety and Health Standards or OSHA would require porn actors to wear eye gear for many scenes.

“…[T]he employer shall provide, at no cost to the employee, appropriate personal protective equipment such as, but not limited to, condoms, gloves for cleaning, and, if contact of the eyes with [bodily fluids] is reasonably anticipated, eye protection….The employer shall ensure that the employee uses appropriate personal protective equipment,” reads one section of the standards.

Porn companies, actors and even some health advocates say the new rules are unnecessary.

“These are regulations designed for medical settings, and are unworkable on an adult film set – or even a Hollywood film set,” said Diane Duke, CEO of the Free Speech Coalition, a trade association for the adult entertainment industry.

The new law would also outlaw many practices common in adult films. Under the rules, “all bodily fluids shall be considered potentially infectious materials.”
