The U.S. Department of Transportation's (USDOT) Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG), published by PHMSA, is the essential handbook for first responders handling hazardous materials transportation incidents. The ERG app, mirroring the latest ERG edition, provides instant access to vital information. The app's indexed database includes dangerous goods, their identification numbers, hazard summaries, and recommended safety measures.
For instance, responding to a tipped-over semi-trailer displaying a DOT hazmat placard, first responders can use the app to swiftly identify the substance and find appropriate response procedures.
The complete ERG app is available in English, French, and Spanish.
