The 2024 edition of the Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) has been released and it\u2019s more comprehensive than ever before. ERG 2024 includes a number of important updates and is designed to offer valuable guidance to first responders and hazmat personnel in the event of hazardous material incidents.<\/p>\n
PHMSA worked with a number of partners including the Canadian Transport Emergency Center (CANUTEC) as well as a team of chemists and first response professionals from around the world to develop ERG 2024. The guide is designed to provide all the information that first responders and hazmat employees need to respond effectively to emergencies involving hazardous materials.<\/p>\n
As part of its efforts to achieve the goal of providing emergency response guides to all the public emergency service vehicles in the country, PHMSA is offering 1.8 million free copies of ERG 2024 to fire fighters, law enforcement officials, and other first responders across the country.<\/p>\n
