The
Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG2004) was developed jointly by the US
Department of Transportation, Transport
Canada, and the Secretariat of Communications and Transportation of Mexico
(SCT) 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. It is primarily a guide to aid 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. The next version is scheduled for
2008.
