For California production companies

The paperwork was done once. The regulation runs on clocks.

Stagehand keeps the written exposure control plan, every training sign-off, the hepatitis B offer or signed declination for each worker and the exposure-incident log — and it will not call a shoot while anybody working is past their training year, was never offered the vaccine in time, or the plan is past its yearly review.

The problem

Trained when they started. A year and two weeks ago.

California’s bloodborne pathogens standard applies to adult film employers, and almost everything in it is a date that runs out: the plan’s yearly review, each worker’s yearly training, the vaccine offer due within ten working days of a first assignment, the evaluation due immediately after an exposure, the sharps log due within fourteen working days. Each is done properly once and then quietly lapses, and nobody notices until the day somebody asks to see it.

Every year

Cal/OSHA says section 5193 applies to adult film employers, including training at least annually on bloodborne pathogens and the employer’s exposure control plan.

10 working days

The hepatitis B vaccination is to be made available within ten working days of a worker’s initial assignment, and a worker who declines signs the declination statement.

Immediately

After an exposure incident is reported, a confidential medical evaluation and follow-up has to be made available to the exposed employee immediately.

Will not call a shoot for anybody the paperwork no longer covers.

Not a reminder. The Call button refuses, with the reason beside it, while anybody working the day is past a year since their last training, was not offered the vaccine within ten working days of first assignment, declined without a signed declination — or while the written plan is past its yearly review. Asked as of the shoot day. There is no override.

How it works

Every clock is worked out from the date it runs from

Record what was done, and when

The plan and each review. Every training sign-off. The day the vaccine was offered, the answer, and whether a declination was signed. Each exposure incident, the day it was reported and the day the evaluation was offered.

Let the clocks run

The plan’s next review, each worker’s next training, each vaccine offer’s deadline in working days, each sharps log entry’s deadline: all derived, all in one list, soonest first, with what is already overdue in red.

Call the shoot, or do not

Everyone working covered on the day and the plan current, or the shoot is not called. Once it is called, nobody uncovered can be assigned to it.

What it will never do

It keeps the employer’s paperwork. It never keeps the medical file.

Vaccination records, evaluation results and source testing are confidential medical records that belong with the clinic for the length of employment plus thirty years. Stagehand records that something was offered, signed or done, on what date, and where the confidential file is — never what is in it.

No medical information.No results, no doses, no diagnoses, no source testing. There is no field for any of it.

It is not a training course.It records that training happened, who gave it and that it was signed. Your trainer or provider teaches it.

It is not a clinic.It says where the confidential record is. The clinic holds it.

It never touches a payment.No wages, no payouts, no fan payments. Merchant category stays software, and the fee is flat.

Questions

The ones we actually get asked

Does this replace our exposure control plan?

No. The plan is your document, written for your sets. Stagehand records when it was adopted and reviewed, where the signed copy is, and refuses a shoot once its yearly review has run out.

Where are the medical records kept?

With your clinic, where they belong. Stagehand has no field for them. It records that the vaccine was offered and the answer, that an evaluation was offered and when, and where the confidential file is.

Does it actually stop a shoot?

Yes. A shoot with anybody working who is not covered on its day, or with the plan past its review, is not called in the program, and nobody uncovered is assigned to a called shoot. There is no override.

What counts as a working day?

Monday to Friday. Public holidays are not taken out, which makes the ten-day vaccine deadline a little stricter than the rule, never looser.

Is this legal advice?

No. It is a binder that argues with you. Read section 5193 with somebody who advises on it.

What do I actually get when I pay?

The demo on this page is the whole program, running on invented records. Paying gets you a licence key — one line of text, emailed to the address you give at checkout within two working days. Paste it into the program and from then on it keeps your own records. Until then, nothing you type into it is kept.

The key is checked inside the page, on your own machine. It never calls us, so there is still no account and nothing about your business goes anywhere. If you ever stop paying, your records stay exactly where they are, read-only, and Export still hands you every one of them.
