2008 Emergency Response Guidebook
The North American Emergency Response Guidebook provides an easy access source to emergency response and spill response information for all transport regulated chemicals for the USA, Canada and Mexico.
The Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) was developed jointly by the proper regulatory authorities for the US, Canada and Mexico for use by firefighters, police, and other emergency services personnel who may be the first to arrive at the scene of a transportation incident involving a hazardous material. The Guide serves as a reference aid to first responders in (1) quickly identifying the specific or generic classification of the material(s) involved in the incident, and (2) protecting themselves and the general public during this initial response phase of the incident. The ERG is updated every three to four years to accommodate new products and technology.
This first update since 2004 contains the latest dangerous goods lists from the United Nations Recommendations, as well as from other international and national regulations. Available in standard- and pocket-sized editions.
Features include:
- Updated proper shipping names and identification numbers
- Includes proper shipping names from the UN 13th Edition
- Additional information about water-reactive chemicals
- Three-digit guide numbers to help you quickly identify specific chemicals and potential dangers
- Guide pages with two-page format to accommodate expanded information
