Hoisting Machine Operators Advisory Board

All crane operators certified by the Hawaii Hoisting Machine Operators Advisory Board (HMOAB) must also have a current physical examination certificate. You may be required to show proof that you have a current physical examination.

When you first obtained your HMOAB certificate, you had to have a current physical examination. However, it is possible that your physical examination may expire BEFORE your HMOAB certificate expires. In this case you should get another physical examination. This is covered under Title 12, Subtitle 7, Chapter 48 of the Hawaii Administrative Rules. See below for the rules:
