Hawaii Elevator Code and Regulations

Hawaii Elevator Code Authority
Authorities having jurisdiction are those government officials who are the final authority on questions in a particular area (or jurisdiction). The Occupational Safety and Health division oversees all elevators in the State. The Elevator Safety Law is intended to provide for the safe operation and use of elevators in the state and is administered through the Elevator Inspection Branch of HIOSH.

Like the Occupational Safety and Health part of HIOSH, standards are adopted and enforced through compliance inspections and investigations. Permits to operate are issued regarding any elevator and if found to be safe in accordance with these standards. In addition, Branch staff reviews and approves plans for new installation, repairs, or modification of equipment covered by this Law. If you own or manage a building and need to install, construct, alter, or modernize any elevator or kindred equipment, forms for permits are available at the state web site listed below.(excerpt from state website)
