AEDs in Hawaii schools
We could not confirm a Hawaii school AED mandate against an official source, so we do not claim one. Check with your state department of education and your athletic association.
AEDs in Hawaii gyms and health clubs
Hawaii has no statewide AED mandate for gyms or health clubs. Many clubs still keep one because members are high-risk and insurers ask about it.
Workplaces and government buildings in Hawaii
We found no general Hawaii law that requires private employers to have an AED, and no verified mandate for state buildings. Federal OSHA does not require AEDs either, though it encourages employers to consider them. Local fire codes and building codes can add requirements, so check with your local authority.
Good Samaritan protection in Hawaii
Every state protects people who use an AED in good faith from civil liability (SCA Foundation review of state AED laws). Most of these laws expect the AED to be maintained and, in some states, registered with local EMS. A unit with expired pads or a dead battery can weaken the protection.
