tool in providing initial guidance to emergency services personnel responding
to hazardous material incidents. ERG2008 is primarily a guide to aid
first responders in quickly identifying the specific or generic hazards of the
material(s) involved in an incident, and protecting themselves and the general
public during the initial response phase. The guidebook is not intended to
provide information on the physical or chemical properties of dangerous goods.

containing potential hazards, suggested public safety measures and emergency
