Hawaii incorporates by reference the July 1, 2017, edition of the federal OSHA general industry requirements for bloodborne pathogens; therefore, the state requirements are identical to the federal requirements, except for some revised definitions found in HAR 12-60-50.
Any new federal OSHA final rule that impacts the general industry bloodborne pathogens requirements and that took or takes effect after July 1, 2017, will not be effective until the state takes action. For example, currently, the federal OSHA Standards Improvement Project—Phase IV final rule, dated May 14, 2019, is not effective in Hawaii.
