Overview of the Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) 2024 When there's an incident involving the transportation of dangerous goods, the first thing you need to keep yourself and the public safe is information. For more than three decades, the Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) has helped FIRST RESPONDERS identify dangerous goods and their hazards so they can make informed safety decisions when arriving at the scene of an incident. Every four years, The ERG is REVISED and UPDATED by officials from CANUTEC / Transport Canada in partnership with the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), the Secretariat of Infrastructures, Communications and Transport of Mexico, and the Chemical Information Center for Emergencies of Argentina with the latest dangerous goods research and transportation technologies, and to make it even easier to use. The ERG is divided into COLOR-CODED SECTIONS for quick reference. First, the WHITE PAGES at the front of the guide. On the very first page is a flowchart that walks you through every step of the decision-making process. This section includes information about the placards, labels, and markings used to identify the different classes of dangerous goods. Beside each set of placards is a black circle with a three-digit number. This corresponds to a specific guide in the orange section that describes how to respond to an incident involving that kind of material. You'll also find guide numbers for different types of railcars and road trailers based on their shape and the common dangerous goods usually transported in each. If you know the material's four-digit UN number, start with the YELLOW PAGES. Here, dangerous goods are listed in NUMERICAL ORDER by UN number followed by a three-digit number corresponding to a guide in the ORANGE PAGES. The BLUE PAGES work the same way, but the dangerous goods are listed ALPHABETICALLY by name rather than UN number. If an entry is highlighted in green, you may need to refer to the GREEN PAGES for the initial isolation and protective action distances. Watch for any guide numbers followed by a “P”. This means the material may undergo violent polymerization if heated or contaminated — which could cause its container to rupture or explode. The ORANGE PAGES are the most important in the ERG. They include safety guides, each covering a group of materials with similar characteristics. Here you'll find details on potential hazards and health risks, public safety measures such as immediate isolation and evacuation distances, and emergency response actions to be taken in case of a fire or spill. The ERG2024 is available as a MOBILE APP for Apple & Android devices and in PDF format in English, French, and Spanish.

Mission area #4 for emergency preparedness and school safety is Response, but what does it mean? Response means the capabilities necessary to stabilize an emergency once it has already happened or is certain to happen in an unpreventable way, establish a safe and secure environment, save lives and property, and facilitate the transition to recovery. Pre-planning can speed up and make a response more effective. To respond to an emergency, schools should consider activating their EOP, providing directives for immediate protective actions, notifying and coordinating with first responders, documenting actions taken, and communicating regularly with their communities.

Emergency Management: The concept of emergency preparedness is a continuous cycle of planning, organizing, training, equipping, exercising, evaluating, and taking corrective actions in an effort to ensure effective coordination during incident response”. This is a topic we can not overlook in our various homes, institutions and facilities. In as much as we don't expect any incident to occur, it is paramount to have such unexpected event well understood. We cannot give room to any reasons why we cannot adequately protect and value what we have spend our time, money and other resources to build over the years to go waste within a day or two. However, an effective response depends on competent personnel with a well developed plan and procedures that has been adequately resourced and regularly exercised. #Competentpersonnel #Planning #AdequateResources #Regularexercise
