Supervised under the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations (DLIR), the Hawaii Occupational Safety and Health Division (HIOSH) not only executes and manages the Regulations and Standards of the State Plan but also examines and imposes penalty charges in Hawaii. Though Hawaii’s State Plan comprises Federal OSHA Standards and Regulations, the Standards and Regulations might vary for exceptional industries:

 

Construction Standards:

 

• Steel Erection
• Cranes and Derricks
• Worker Intoxication
• Signs, Signals, and Barricades

 

General Industry Standards:

 

• Noise Exposure
• Toxic Substances
• Worker Intoxication
• Industrial Lighting
• Safety and Health Program

 

The categorizing of the workers and companies that fall under the regulatory body of the Federal OSHA in Hawaii are as follows:

 

• Federal employees and agencies.
• Any organization that has denied admittance and the state cannot carry out their right of access without a warranty.
• Employees from the private sector, including contractors and subcontractors, who are employed on federally owned property, such as military bases and national parks.
• Working conditions for flight attendants aboard operational airplanes.
• Along with privately owned facilities run by contractors for mail delivery on behalf of the USPS Maritime workplaces, the U.S. Postal Service, except for marine development projects involving boats or other floating infrastructure, which HIOSH covers

 

 

Though OSHA does not force workers to take OSHA Outreach Training since employees, as per their rank in their workplaces, need to pursue training relevant to OSHA Standards, it is advised by OSHA for employees to get training in the two particular courses which cover necessary site safety topics under OSHA regulations, respectively OSHA 10 Hour for entry-level workers and OSHA 30 Hour for Managers or Supervisors.
