ERG 2020 (Emergency Response Guidebook 2020)


PHMSA (U.S. Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration)s 2020 Emergency Response Guidebook provides first responders with a go-to resource to help deal with hazmat accidents during the critical first 30 minutes.The ERG contains an indexed list of dangerous goods and the associated ID number, the general hazards they pose and recommended safety precautions. For example, if emergency responders arrive at the scene of an overturned tractor trailer displaying a DOT hazmat placard, they would use the guide to identify the material associated with the placard and get guidance on how to respond accordingly. The 2020 version of the ERG includes general revisions, reorganized general information pages, and the addition of protective distance mapping. Updated every four years, the ERG is available free to public safety agencies in all states and territories through designated state coordinators’ offices. PHMSA has partnered with the National Library of Medicine to provide this free application as well as a version of the ERG in its Wireless Information System for Emergency Responders (WISER) application.A French translation of the ERG 2020 has been added to the app!Added support for cross-language sharing.Added many small updates and improvements.

Has the ERG as needed for my duties for packaging, handling, and transporting of DG. I prefer the paper version, but that gets expensive with having to replace them every four years. The drawback of the app is that, at present, it does not automatically update itself. So, every four years, you will have to download the new version.

Road Trailer Identification section doesn't work / missing information. Also rail car identification detail.

Very useful. Although my department has the actual book, this is much faster, I don't have to worry about looking for the book if it's misplaced, everyone with a phone basically gets their own copy of it, and I don't have to buy a new book when new editions are released, will recommend

I was a firefighter and I used the ERG to see the types of chemical's going through town.

Try looking up by plaquerd, this massive black dot takes over and you can't see anything. I Uninstalled and reinstalled with the same problem results. So stupid in an emergency situation.
