Workplace Drug Testing Laws for Hawaii

Hawaii statute does not regulate the circumstances under which drug and alcohol testing can be conducted but does specify the procedures that must be followed for drug and alcohol testing.

The purpose is to ensure that appropriate and uniform drug and alcohol testing procedures are employed throughout the State, to protect the privacy rights of persons tested, and to achieve reliable and accurate results.

These statutes do not apply to testing regulated by the Hawaii Department of Transportation, the United States Department of Transportation, or any other federal agency. The standards of testing blood alcohol concentration, including personnel qualifications, procedures, and result reporting must be established by the Department of Health.
