The official Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) is a guide for use by transporters, 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 used by 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.

Nice
Nice book. Good size. I just received my hazmat endorsement. I thought this would help with placarding but it doesnt. I believe its required to carry this though so no big deal

The ERG is a must-have for volunteer firefighters or EMS personnel. The spiral-bound version is much better than the paperback version, since it stays open easily. I keep the ERG in my truck, so if I come upon a traffic accident with hazardous materials involved, I can use it to help me find the type of material involved, and the isolation distance for safety. I also have the free ERG app, but you can't beat a real book sometimes.

I took a HAZWOPER class. Was taught how to read this book about all the chemical and ways they are transported way to identify. I thought it would be fun for the family. On road trips to look up trucks or trains. To find out what they are transporting. Then learn how to protect ourselves from it.

never can hurt to have this thing. they have an app for it as well but don,t always have signal or battery life for that to be trusted. feels like i t will hold together pretty well.

Easy to read since it’s larger than the normal book you must carry in your Haz Mat vehicle. You can turn the pages with ease since it’s wire bound also

It is ok to just know what the placards look like for all the hazardous materials.

Just as described! Much better than the paperback version that closes back on itself.

Una guía completa y mas fácil de utilizar por el tipo de pasta en espiral. Muy necesario e indispensable para todo tipo de servicios de emergencias y urgencias. Lo recomiendo, aunque también me gustaría obtenerlo en idioma español.
La guía es muy practica para guardarla casi en cualquier lugar.
