OSHA Requirements and Training Resources for Employers Located in Honolulu HI
Who regulates worker safety and OSHA training in Honolulu HI? The State of Hawaii State OSHA program (HIOSH). Hawaii’s Occupational Safety and Health Plan was approved on January 4, 1974, and therefore regulates most, but not all, OSHA training in Honolulu. The state program was certified on May 9, 1978 as having completed all specified developmental steps. On April 30, 1984 the State was granted final approval and concurrent Federal enforcement authority was relinquished under Section 18(e) of the Act. Therefore, that agency oversees most matters related to OSHA training in Honolulu and elsewhere in Hawaii.
Hawaii OSHA Training Regulations and Standards
Hawaii has chosen to adopt the majority of Federal OSHA standards verbatim, including those regulating OSHA training for employees in construction and general industry. However, there are some standards that, while deemed as effective as comparable federal standards, have significant differences, and there are some HIOSH standards which do not have any federal counterparts. Examples of HIOSH standards which differ from Federal OSHA standards are those for fall protection, steel erection and air contaminants. HIOSH has requirements for safety and health programs and for certification of hoisting equipment operators which have no Federal OSHA counterpart. HIOSH’s standards can be found online at the Hawaii Standards Website.
HIOSH’s standards are numbered in accordance with other state regulations and can be found under Title 12, Subtitle 8. Links to federal OSHA training requirements for construction and general industry are available below on this page.
Jurisdiction
The Hawaii State Plan applies to all private and public sector places of employment in the State, with the exception of Federal employees, the United States Postal Service (USPS), private sector maritime, and land that is exclusive Federal jurisdiction, which are subject to Federal OSHA jurisdiction. Employers required to provide OSHA training in Honolulu and elsewhere in HI should check carefully to insure they are complying with the correct set of regulations.
The designated agency for the administration of this program, including the regulations for OSHA training in Honolulu / Hawaii is the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations (DLIR). Within the DLIR, the Hawaii Occupational Safety and Health Division (HIOSH) is responsible for both enforcement and consultation programs. HIOSH is headquartered in the State capital of Honolulu. The central telephone number is (808) 586-9100. OSHA’s national emergency hotline telephone number is 1-800-321-OSHA. Information for contacting field offices in Hilo, Kona, and Kauai, as well as enforcement activities including unique enforcement initiatives and local emphasis programs can be obtained online at the HIOSH website.

Additional Safety Training Considerations for Employees in Honolulu
While our onsite and online OSHA 10 and 30-hour training courses for construction and general industry are the gold standard for training about general hazard recognition and avoidance for workers and supervisors, there are many workers in and around Honolulu who face unique environmental and occupational hazards that require other specialized safety training to prevent serious injuries and illnesses.
Heat Illness Prevention Training is considered essential training for anyone working in high temperatures or humid conditions, where prolonged exposure can lead to heat stress and even life-threatening heat stroke. Whether working on construction sites, road-work, landscaping and lawn care crews, in commercial kitchens, attics, or buildings without adequate ventilation, workers must know how to recognize the early signs of heat-related illness and know how to stay hydrated, take proper rest breaks, and respond to emergencies. This training equips them with the knowledge needed to help them work safely in extreme heat.
Many workers in industries such as storm or wastewater management and agriculture must be made aware of the dangers of Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S), a highly toxic gas commonly found in drilling sites, refineries, chemical plants, manure pits, grain elevators, mines, sewers, and underground utility spaces. Without proper precautions, exposure can quickly become fatal. Our H2S Hazard Awareness Training Course helps ensure workers understand H2S hazards, and follow standard operating and emergency procedures to stay safe in high-risk environments.
Affected workers must complete Confined Space Entry Training before entering spaces such as tanks, vats, silos, sewer and storm drain systems, underground utilities, and many crawl spaces. Training is also required for supervisors overseeing confined space entry operations and attendants monitoring entrant safety. These confined spaces can pose serious hazards, including toxic gases, oxygen deficiency, and engulfment risks. Similar hazards require specialized Confined Space Training for Construction Workers and Supervisors who enter confined spaces too. Ensuring compliance with confined space safety regulations protects workers from life-threatening dangers and helps businesses maintain a safe work environment.
Our Online OSHA 10 and 30-hour Training Courses Accepted in Honolulu
We also offer OSHA-authorized online 10 and 30-hour training courses for construction and general industry on our website. However, you must pay close attention when comparing competitor courses, as only those course providers that are specifically authorized to provide these courses can issue trainees the official DOL / OSHA 10 or 30-hour wallet cards. There are plenty of imitators out there who use deceptive fine print and “too good to be true” pricing to sell you a course that is not OSHA authorized.
You can rest assured that the 10 and 30-hour online OSHA training courses offered on our website are authorized by OSHA, and are accepted in Honolulu HI as well as in all other states and US territories.
