Overview

Mission

We were created to advocate, support and educate local contractors.

What it reported doing in 2024

Safety - our safety committee is a very important part of the organization and is responsible for implementing our safety and accident prevention for the members. Contractors, subcontractors, and their employees are required by the state of Hawaii hiosh federal osha to be certified in safety and accident prevention classes. Hica provides though a third party most of these safety and accident prevention classes to our members at a discounted rate. There was a significant increase in member participation this year especially due to step up in inspections from osha and hiosh. Hica member employees received training, which is a great accomplishment for hica knowing that we contribute to the wellbeing of our members, their employees and community in the area of safety and accident prevention.
