Regulation of OSHA Training on Oahu
Who regulates worker safety for businesses needing OSHA training on Oahu? The State of Hawaii operates a State OSHA program (HIOSH). So all affected employers needing to provide OSHA training on Oahu must comply with this agencies regulations. Hawaii’s Occupational Safety and Health Plan was approved on January 4, 1974, and 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.
Jurisdiction
There are two agencies with primary responsibility for oversight of regulations for OSHA training on Oahu / Hawaii. 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.
HI 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. So the federal regulations for OSHA training apply to regulated businesses and organizations on Oahu and elsewhere in Hawaii. 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.

Additional Safety Training Considerations for Workers on Oahu
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. However, there are many workers on Oahu 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.
Workers in industries such as storm or wastewater management, agriculture, mining, and oil and gas must be aware of the dangers of Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S), a highly toxic gas commonly found at drilling sites, refineries, chemical plants, mines, manure pits, grain elevators, sewers, and underground utility spaces. Without proper precautions, exposure can quickly become fatal. H2S Hazard Awareness Training helps ensure workers can identify H2S hazards, understand the importance of gas detection equipment, and follow emergency procedures to stay safe in high-risk environments.
Affected workers involved in confined space entry operations must complete Confined Space Entry Training for General Industry before entering hazardous areas such as tanks, vats, silos, sewer and storm drain systems, underground utilities, and many crawl spaces. Supervisors overseeing confined space entry and attendants monitoring entrant safety must also be trained. These environments pose serious risks, including toxic gases, oxygen deficiency, and engulfment. Additionally, construction workers and supervisors entering confined spaces must complete specialized Confined Space Training for Construction.
