ROH §14-2.6
Permit holder must protect the city from claims
Read the official text at honolulu.gov ↗If you hold a permit, you must pay for any injuries or damage caused by your work under that permit, and protect the city from lawsuits. The city will use safety measures like barricades and lights when making repairs, but that does not let you off the hook for accidents.
