… Cal-OSHA is charged with, among other things, investigating ’causes of any employment accident that … results in a serious injury or illness, or a serious exposure, unless it determines that an investigation is unnecessary.’ Smith said in her ruling. “Plaintiff is concededly not an employee of AIM, and Cal-OSHA is admittedly not investigating the safety of AIM’s employees, but of adult film industry employers.”
Smith further said that Cal-OSHA is limited to investigating employers and their agents.
“There is no apparent need for identifying information of Patient Zero, or of patient-identifying information generally, for the purposes of investigation of AIM as an employer,” she said.
