Porn actors and actresses last month protested the possible strengthening of rules requiring condom use in adult movies at a California occupational health and safety hearing in downtown Los Angeles. 
One porn actor said that "There is no way to make the industry risk-free. Making things safer does not make it safe." He further stated that "If you're worried or paranoid, you should not be in this industry."
Long time porn actress Nina Hartley also testified and added "As someone who is still working on the camera myself, I don't feel any safer with condoms."
State officials have said that California occupational safety and health rules already require condoms to be used on porn sets, citing rules that protect employee exposure to "bloodborne pathogens," which include bodily fluids.
The additional regulations being considered by Cal/OSHA would be written specifically for the porn industry.No decision was made at the meeting and another hearing is scheduled for later in the fall in San Francisco.
