What does the white section of the ERG contain?

The white section of the Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) contains Emergency Response Guide Numbers, which are essential for identifying specific hazardous materials. These numbers serve as a quick reference for responders to locate detailed response information about particular substances listed in the guide. Each guide number corresponds to a different hazardous material, helping responders to efficiently navigate to the appropriate response procedures.

This organization allows emergency responders to quickly reference hazards associated with materials during incidents, ensuring they can adopt the correct safety measures and procedures. Each entry includes crucial information such as potential hazards, first aid actions, and firefighting techniques tailored to the material in question. The other sections of the ERG serve different purposes, such as providing additional details on emergency procedures or disclaimers, but the white section specifically focuses on the guide numbers that link to those procedures.
