About ERG 2020


PHMSA (U.S. Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration)'s 2020 Emergency Response Guidebook provides first responders with a go-to resource to help deal with hazmat accidents during the critical first 30 minutes.

For example, if emergency responders arrive at the scene of an overturned tractor trailer displaying a DOT hazmat placard, they would use the guide to identify the material associated with the placard and get guidance on how to respond accordingly.

PHMSA has partnered with the National Library of Medicine to provide this free application as well as a version of the ERG in its Wireless Information System for Emergency Responders (WISER) application.

The 2020 version of the ERG includes general revisions, reorganized general information pages, protective distance mapping updates, and the new ability to share data links through URLs.

The ERG contains an indexed list of dangerous goods and the associated ID number, the general hazards they pose and recommended safety precautions.

Updated every four years, the ERG is available free to public safety agencies in all states and territories through designated state coordinators’ offices.

Good but needs help

Data is easy to find. However, plume map pin can’t be moved nor is entering lat and long manually accurate. More than a mile off. This is a critical component when determining a valuation and downwind concerns. FIX IT

Glossary

Great app easy to use but a glossary feature would be a game changer


By


Missing links

When I search by un # the corresponding guide page has the “map”, “guide..”, “protective distance” tabs appear. If I go through the “browse guide pages” tab instead those tabs don’t appear on the guide page?

Incident Response

Excellent app. Had to look up a UN number to determine safe distance for a spill today. Very handy in keeping my folks safe quickly.

Print feature needed

ERG2020 is really helpful but needs a print feature.

This is an awesome app

Look Up Truck Placard Codes

This makes it easy to look up the placard numbers you see on tank trucks, etc to see what they are carrying.

That way those of you who love to tailgate because you failed grade school science and have no idea why physics says tailgating is a bad practice can see which trucks you REALLY don't want to be too close to.

A native iPad version would get 5 stars...

ERG 2016 terrible

ERG 2016 for iPhone doesn't work for the Xs Max. I have deleted it and reinstalled it with no luck. The beginning pages are all jumbled together and I can't use this. This is a great resource if it worked with this iPhone. Please fix or something.

Great for Hazmat InService Training

App works great.....don't work without it

Unreadable guide pages

My tab to browse the guide pages is unreadable and the chemicals are all bunched up on top of each other?

Great Update and added functionality

This update to the 2016 ERG, has all of the features we've been asking for. The added functionality of the map feature is great. Having all of the information on one screen on a tablet device is fantastic.

However, we did find two critical mistakes that need to be corrected immediately. First, in the Table of Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances, the Table 3 high wind category is mistakenly labeled as MPG. It should be MPH.

Also, under the listing Anhydrous Ammonia, only the Small Spill information is provided for table 3. The Large Spill information for that green section is missing. If you use Ammonia, Anhydrous it is correct.

That is all that we have found for mistakes so far.

No more need for the book

Love having ERG2020 on my phone. Great guide. Easy to locate materials.

Would like to see a quick phone number guide on the front page in case of an emergency.

Great App, please fix icon

ERG2020 is great but the icon is killing my OCD with the broken white border. Please please fix. That's would make this nearly perfect!!!


By


Double Purchase

This indicates it is compatible with iPhone AND iPad. I initially purchased and expected it to be downloadble for both. Instead I had to pay for iPad version also! This shouldnt require DOUBLE Purchase unless clearly specified!!!!
I want to use both and a refund for one!!!


By


Awesome, very handy.

I like using this way better than the book. This is super fast and accurate. Gets me where I need to be very fast.


By


Easy to use

I found that I could use ERG2020 faster then looking it up in the book.

Perfect

Can't complain about the price and has worked when I have practiced with it.

Green pages tables missing?

Cannot locate green pages tables anywhere on iPhone 5. Also those items supposed to be highlighted in green are not. A great reference yet without these features the hard copy book is still needed! Fail!
