NEWS: Digimon, .hack//SIGN Voice Actress Brianne Brozey Underwent 5-Hour Surgery After Accident

I loved her Kenichi in Metropolis and would gladly donate via PayPal.

Some of the people commenting in the linked article have expressed that they have witnessed the disregard to employee safety when working in the entertainment industry.

I had a relative that died on set while filming the original Spiderman movie.

Fully agreed with you, I'm surprised that OSHA has not set up an office in Hollywood. If they had set up an office long time ago, this incident would never happened.

The office at 320 W. 4th Street, Los Angeles, CA 90013 is about 3 miles southeast of Hollywood.

There are two problems though, even if there's an office at close proximity. The first is that Hollywood is very good at evading the law through loopholes and exact words (which is likely why it took Brozey four years to finally get treated for her injury, though her not getting enough care is probably the fault of the insurance or healthcare service), and the second, bigger problem is that they won't get in trouble if no one's looking--there can't be an OSHA representative at every shooting location (let alone pre- and post-production), and when there's no official there, the sky's the limit.

Hollywood plays dirty. I've been there, and I've seen it. I haven't seen anybody actually die during shooting (and that no one knew about it for that Spider-Man incident is contemptible, though I can see why Sony would want to hide it at any cost), but I have seen people get injured and whatnot--unless it's an actor or director, the show must go on, by hook or by crook.
