Who is required to obtain a Blue Card in Hawaii?

In Hawaii, the requirement to obtain a Blue Card applies to all construction workers on job sites. The Blue Card program is specifically designed to ensure that workers in the construction industry receive the necessary safety training and education required by state regulations. This initiative aims to reduce workplace accidents and promote safe practices across the construction sector.

By mandating that all construction workers obtain a Blue Card, Hawaii establishes a uniform standard for safety training that enhances overall job site safety regardless of specific job roles or the amount of time worked each week. This comprehensive approach ensures that every worker, whether a laborer, painter, or tradesperson, is equipped with the knowledge and skills to recognize hazards and respond appropriately, fostering a culture of safety throughout the industry.
