General Statute Rules must be followed for employee drug testing per the UNIFORM CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES ACT Chapter 329.

Hawaii requires employers to follow specific procedural requirements, and a written policy is strongly recommended. The rules require an employer to provide statements to the donor before collecting a sample that indicates: A list of the substances to be tested and a statement that prescriptions and over-the-counter medicines may cause a positive test result.

Intoxication Defense – Denial of Workers Compensation Claim – A Workers’ Compensation intoxication defense to a claim exists in Hawaii. There is no Rebuttable presumption of intoxication. There is a presumption that intoxication did NOT cause the injury.
