Haw. Code R. § 12-51-2

Current through September, 2024
Section 12-51-2 - Posting of notice
(a) Each employer shall post, and keep posted, a notice made available by the division, informing employees of:
(1) The protections and obligations under the law; and
(2) The availability of assistance and information, including copies of the law and of specific safety and health standards, from the employer or the nearest office of the department.
(b) The notice shall be posted by the employer in each establishment in a conspicuous place where notices to employees are customarily posted. Each employer shall take steps to insure that notices are not altered, defaced, or covered by other material.
(c) Where distinctly separate activities are performed at a single physical location (such as contract construction activities from the same physical location as a lumber yard), each activity shall be treated as a separate physical establishment, and a separate notice shall be posted in each establishment, to the extent that the notices have been made available by the division. Where employers are engaged in activities that are physically dispersed (such as agriculture, construction, transportation, communications, and electric, gas, and sanitary services), the notice required by this section shall be posted at the location to which employees report each day. Where employees do not usually work at, or report to, a single establishment (such as longshoremen, traveling salespersons, technicians, and engineers), the notice shall be posted at the location from which the employees operate to carry out their activities. In all cases, the notice shall be posted in accordance with subsections (a) and (b) above.
(d) Copies of the law, all rules and standards adopted under the law, and all applicable standards are available through offices of the department. An employer shall obtain copies of these materials and shall make them available upon request to any employee, or their designated representative, for review in the establishment where the employee is employed on the same day the request is made or at the earliest time mutually convenient to the employee, or their designated representative, and the employer.
(e) Any employer failing to comply with this section shall be subject to citation and penalty in accordance with the law.
