Which section of the ERG would you consult to quickly find an emergency guide number?

Blue section
Green section
Yellow section
Red section

The correct answer is: Yellow section

The correct answer is the yellow section of the Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG). This section is specifically organized to allow users to quickly identify dangerous goods by their four-digit UN/NA number and provides the corresponding guide number for each entry. The guide number offers vital information on the specific hazards associated with the material, recommended firefighting techniques, and safety measures. Utilizing the yellow section facilitates rapid access to crucial emergency response information, which is essential during a hazardous materials incident. The blue section, on the other hand, is used to find the hazardous material by name, while the green section provides information related to materials that have health risks, including potential exposure limits and emergency medical procedures. The red section offers guidance for common hazardous materials but does not serve the specific purpose of matching UN numbers to emergency guide numbers. Understanding the structure of the ERG and the specific sections will aid responders in quickly obtaining the necessary information in emergency situations.
