Be Prepared — Respond Appropriately
To Any Transportation Incident Involving Hazardous Materials
The ERG is the ideal guide to help when responding to transportation emergencies involving hazardous materials. It is a must-have for everyone who handles and transports dangerous goods and hazmat. This guide helps your company comply with the DOT 49 CFR 172.602 requirement that hazmat shipments be accompanied with emergency response information. Don't be caught with the outdated ERG.
