The U.S. Department of Transportation's (USDOT) Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) is the essential resource for first responders during the initial response to hazardous materials transportation incidents.
The convenient ERG app, updated to reflect the latest ERG edition, provides quick access to vital information. The app includes a searchable database of dangerous goods, listing their identification numbers, hazard classifications, and recommended safety measures.
For example, if responders encounter an overturned truck displaying a DOT hazmat placard, the app helps quickly identify the substance and provides immediate guidance for safe and effective response.
The complete ERG app is available in English, French, and Spanish.
