What should be done at sites where hazards are largely unknown or there is no need to enter immediately?
It depends on the site and nature of the potential dangers. If the site is underground, is there a build up of explosive methane gases? Is there carbon dioxide - that is unbreathable? Is there an danger of the collapse of the walls or ceiling - burying anyone entering? Any site should have been 'Risk Assessed' before any one is allowed to enter, or work is allowed to begin.

Does osha require site specific hands-on training for the 40 hour hazwoper training?
Yes, OSHA requires site-specific hands-on training as part of the 40-hour HAZWOPER training. While the initial 40-hour training covers general hazardous waste operations and emergency response, employers must provide additional training tailored to the specific hazards and conditions of the site where employees will be working. This ensures that workers are adequately prepared to handle the unique challenges of their work environment.
Do you have to have to have an occupational health and safety representative?
Whether you are required to have a health and safety representative depends on the laws of the state, province, or country where you work, the procedures of your employer, and the kind of work being performed. Many organizations, especially in construction, have come to require a safety and health representative on each job site to assist with safety functions and analyze job site risk and hazards. Usually, companies have OSHA representatives and they are one of the people that makes sure that your company is aligned with all of the guidelines of OSHA and that you will not be penalized for some working hazards or unsafe features in the workplace.
