IT’S THE LAW! 	
• 	You have the right to notify your employer or HIOSH (808-586-9092) about 
workplace hazards. HIOSH will keep your name and identity confidential. 	
• 	You have the right to request a HIOSH inspection if you believe that there are 
unsafe and/or unhealthful conditions at your workplace.  You or your 
representative may participate in the inspection. 	
• 	You have a right to see HIOSH citations issued to your employer. Your employer 
must post the citations at or near the place of the alleged violation. 	
• 	Your employer must correct workplace hazards by the date indicated on the 
citation and must certify that these hazards have been reduced or eliminated. 	
• 	You have the right to copies of your medical records or records of your 
exposure to toxic and harmful substances or conditions. 	
• 	Your employer may not discriminate against you for making a safety and health 
complaint or for exercising your rights under the law, some of which are 
detailed above. You can file a discrimination complaint with HIOSH within 60 
days of the discriminatory act.  Private sector employees must also file a 
discrimination complaint with the OSHA Regional Office below within 30 
days of the discriminatory act or they will lose their rights to pursue a 
federal claim under section 11(c) of the federal Occupational Safety and 
Health Act of 1970 after the conclusion of the HIOSH investigation. 	
• 	Report to OSHA all work-related fatalities within 8 hours, and all inpatient

where such notices are customarily located. 	
 
 
 
 	
The Hawaii Occupational Safety and Health Law of 1972, Chapter 396, Hawaii 
Revised Statutes, assures safe and healthful working conditions for every worker 
in the State. The Hawaii Occupational Safety and Health Division (HIOSH) of the 
state Department of Labor & Industrial Relations, has the primary responsibility

for administering the HIOSH Law. HIOSH does not cover those hired for 
domestic service in or about a private home, maritime or shipbuilding employees, 
employees covered by a federal agency, and employees working on military 
installations. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 
monitors the HIOSH program to ensure its effectiveness. If you believe HIOSH is 
not meeting its responsibilities, you may file a Complaint About State Program 
Administration (CASPA) directly to the OSHA Regional Office:
