ERG for Android

PHMSA

About this app

PHMSA’s Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) is the go-to resource for first responders during the initial phase of a dangerous goods or hazardous materials transportation incident.

The ERG app is a valuable companion, based on the latest edition of the ERG, to help responders quickly access critical information at their fingertips. The app features an indexed list of dangerous goods, including their associated ID number, general hazards, and recommended safety precautions.

In practical scenarios, such as responding to an overturned tractor trailer displaying a DOT hazmat placard, emergency responders can use the app to quickly identify the material associated with the placard and get guidance on how to respond effectively.

Full versions available in English, French, and Spanish.

Ratings and reviews

App works really well, faster then the book, and I like that it saves recent searches for when you need to quickly switch between a few things. The evacuation map is GREAT. On the down side I noticed the P for polymerization is missing on some chemicals, IE 119, this is a pretty big issue, and one I hope the developers look into quickly.

Has the ERG as needed for my duties for packaging, handling, and transporting of DG. I prefer the paper version, but that gets expensive with having to replace them every four years. The drawback of the app is that, at present, it does not automatically update itself. So, every four years, you will have to download the new version.

Very useful. Although my department has the actual book, this is much faster, I don't have to worry about looking for the book if it's misplaced, everyone with a phone basically gets their own copy of it, and I don't have to buy a new book when new editions are released, will recommend
