The Official USDOT Emergency Response Guidebook
PHMSA's Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) is the essential resource for first responders during the initial response to dangerous goods or hazardous materials transportation incidents. The ERG app, updated to reflect the latest ERG edition, provides quick access to critical information. This valuable tool features an indexed list of dangerous goods, including their ID numbers, general hazards, and recommended safety precautions. For instance, responders encountering an overturned tractor-trailer displaying a DOT hazmat placard can use the app to swiftly identify the material and access effective response guidance. Full versions are available in English, French, and Spanish.
