TABLE of INITIAL ISOLATION and PROTECTIVE ACTION DISTANCES

Cover of the ERG 2004 Engiish version

The Table of Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances suggests distances useful to protect people from vapors resulting from spills involving dangerous goods which are considered poisonous/toxic by inhalation (TIH). The Table provides first responders with initial guidance until technically qualified emergency response personnel are available. Distances show areas likely to be affected during the first 30 minutes after materials are spilled and could increase with time.
