What does the ERG Page (Yellow) offer?

The Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) provides essential guidance for first responders during hazardous materials incidents. The yellow pages, specifically, are designed to help responders quickly locate specific hazardous materials based on their identification numbers. This section organizes materials by their ID numbers, which makes it an effective resource for identifying hazards associated with a specific chemical and determining the appropriate response measures.

By providing a systematic way to navigate through numerous materials based on their unique numeric identifiers, the yellow pages facilitate rapid decision-making in emergency situations where time is crucial. When urgent action is needed, responders can quickly refer to the yellow pages to find critical information without needing to verify the material name or other details first.
