DURING THE INITIAL PHASE
OF A DANGEROUS GOODS/
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
INCIDENT
SHIPPING DOCUMENTS (PAPERS)*
The shipping document provides vital information when responding to a
hazardous materials/dangerous goods** incident. The shipping document
contains information needed to identify the materials involved. Use this
information to initiate protective actions for your own safety and the safety
of the public. The shipping document contains the proper shipping name
(see blue-bordered pages), the hazard class or division of the material(s),
ID number (see yellow-bordered pages), and, where appropriate, the
Packing Group. In addition, there must be information available that
describes the hazards of the material which can be used in the mitigation
of an incident. The information must be entered on or be with the shipping
document. This requirement may be satisfied by attaching a guide from the
ERG2004 to the shipping document, or by having the entire guidebook
available for ready reference. Shipping documents are required for most
dangerous goods in transportation. Shipping documents are kept in
鈥? the cab of the motor vehicle,
鈥? the possession of the train crew member,
鈥? a holder on the bridge of a vessel, or
鈥? an aircraft pilot鈥檚 possession.

HOW TO USE THIS GUIDEBOOK DURING AN INCIDENT INVOLVING
DANGEROUS GOODS
ON E IDENTIFY THE MATERIAL BY FINDING ANY ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:
THE 4-DIGIT ID NUMBER ON A PLACARD OR ORANGE PANEL
THE 4-DIGIT ID NUMBER (after UN/NA) ON A SHIPPING DOCUMENT OR PACKAGE
THE NAME OF THE MATERIAL ON A SHIPPING DOCUMENT, PLACARD OR PACKAGE
IF AN ID NUMBER OR THE NAME OF THE MATERIAL CANNOT BE FOUND, SKIP
TO THE NOTES BELOW.
TWO LOOK UP THE MATERIAL鈥橲 3-DIGIT GUIDE NUMBER IN EITHER:
THE ID NUMBER INDEX..(the yellow-bordered pages of the guidebook)
THE NAME OF MATERIAL INDEX..(the blue-bordered pages of the guidebook)
If the guide number is supplemented with the letter 鈥淧鈥?, it indicates that the material may
undergo violent polymerization if subjected to heat or contamination.
If the index entry is highlighted (in either yellow or blue), it is a TIH (Toxic Inhalation Hazard) material,
a chemical warfare agent or a Dangerous Water Reactive Material (produces toxic gas upon contact
with water). LOOK FOR THE ID NUMBER AND NAME OF THE MATERIAL IN THE TABLE
OF INITIAL ISOLATION AND PROTECTIVE ACTION DISTANCES (the green-bordered pages).
Then, if necessary, BEGIN PROTECTIVE ACTIONS IMMEDIATELY (see Protective Actions on
page 298). If protective action is not required, use the information jointly with the 3-digit guide.
USE GUIDE 112 FOR ALL EXPLOSIVES EXCEPT FOR EXPLOSIVES 1.4
(EXPLOSIVES C) WHERE GUIDE 114 IS TO BE CONSULTED.
THREE TURN TO THE NUMBERED GUIDE (the orange-bordered pages) AND READ CAREFULLY.
NOTES IF A NUMBERED GUIDE CANNOT BE OBTAINED BY FOLLOWING THE ABOVE
STEPS, AND A PLACARD CAN BE SEEN, LOCATE THE PLACARD IN THE TABLE
OF PLACARDS (pages 16-17), THEN GO TO THE 3-DIGIT GUIDE SHOWN NEXT TO
THE SAMPLE PLACARD.
IF A REFERENCE TO A GUIDE CANNOT BE FOUND AND THIS INCIDENT IS BELIEVED TO
INVOLVE DANGEROUS GOODS, TURN TO GUIDE 111 NOW, AND USE IT UNTIL ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION BECOMES AVAILABLE. If the shipping document lists an emergency response
telephone number, call that number. If the shipping document is not available, or no emergency response
telephone number is listed, IMMEDIATELY CALL the appropriate emergency response agency listed
on the inside back cover of this guidebook. Provide as much information as possible, such as the
name of the carrier (trucking company or railroad) and vehicle number. AS A LAST RESORT, CONSULT
THE TABLE OF RAIL CAR AND ROAD TRAILER IDENTIFICATION CHART (pages 18-19). IF THE
CONTAINER CAN BE IDENTIFIED, REMEMBER THAT THE INFORMATION ASSOCIATED
WITH THESE CONTAINERS IS FOR THE WORST CASE POSSIBLE.

ERG2004 USER鈥橲 GUIDE
The 2004 Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG2004) was developed jointly by Transport
Canada (TC), the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), the Secretariat of Transport and
Communications of Mexico (SCT) and with the collaboration of CIQUIME (Centro de Informaci贸n
Qu铆mica para Emergencias) of Argentina, for use by fire fighters, police, and other emergency
services personnel who may be the first to arrive at the scene of a transportation incident
involving dangerous goods. It is primarily a guide to aid first responders in quickly
identifying the specific or generic hazards of the material(s) involved in the incident,
and protecting themselves and the general public during the initial response phase
of the incident. For the purposes of this guidebook, the 鈥渋nitial response phase鈥? is that period
following arrival at the scene of an incident during which the presence and/or identification of
dangerous goods is confirmed, protective actions and area securement are initiated, and
assistance of qualified personnel is requested. It is not intended to provide information on the
physical or chemical properties of dangerous goods.
This guidebook will assist responders in making initial decisions upon arriving at the scene of a
dangerous goods incident. It should not be considered as a substitute for emergency response
training, knowledge or sound judgment. ERG2004 does not address all possible circumstances
that may be associated with a dangerous goods incident. It is primarily designed for use at a
dangerous goods incident occurring on a highway or railroad. Be mindful that there may be
limited value in its application at fixed facility locations.
ERG2004 incorporates dangerous goods lists from the most recent United Nations
Recommendations as well as from other international and national regulations. Explosives are
not listed individually by either proper shipping name or ID Number. They do, however,
appear under the general heading 鈥淓xplosives鈥? on the first page of the ID Number index
(yellow-bordered pages) and alphabetically in the Name of Material index (blue-bordered
pages). Also, the letter 鈥淧鈥? following the guide number in the yellow-bordered and blue-
bordered pages identifies those materials which present a polymerization hazard under certain
conditions, for example: Acrolein, stabilized 131P.
First responders at the scene of a dangerous goods incident should seek additional specific
information about any material in question as soon as possible. The information received by
contacting the appropriate emergency response agency, the emergency response number on
the shipping document, or by consulting the information on or accompanying the shipping
document, may be more specific and accurate than this guidebook in providing guidance for the
materials involved.
BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THIS GUIDEBOOK BEFORE USING IT DURING AN
EMERGENCY! In the U.S., according to the requirements of the U.S. Department of Labor鈥檚
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA, 29 CFR 1910.120), and regulations
issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA, 40 CFR Part 311), first responders
must be trained regarding the use of this guidebook.

GUIDEBOOK CONTENTS
1-Yellow-bordered pages: Index list of dangerous goods in numerical order of ID number.
This section quickly identifies the guide to be consulted from the ID Number of the material
involved. This list displays the 4-digit ID number of the material followed by its assigned
emergency response guide and the material name.
For example: ID No. GUIDE No. Name of Material
1090 127 Acetone
2-Blue-bordered pages: Index list of dangerous goods in alphabetical order of material
name. This section quickly identifies the guide to be consulted from the name of the material
involved. This list displays the name of the material followed by its assigned emergency
response guide and 4-digit ID number.
For example: Name of Material GUIDE No. ID No.
Sulfuric acid 137 1830
3-Orange-bordered pages: This section is the most important section of the guidebook
because it is where all safety recommendations are provided. It comprises a total of 62 individual
guides, presented in a two-page format. Each guide provides safety recommendations and
emergency response information to protect yourself and the public. The left hand page provides
safety related information whereas the right hand page provides emergency response guidance
and activities for fire situations, spill or leak incidents and first aid. Each guide is designed to
cover a group of materials which possess similar chemical and toxicological characteristics.
The guide title identifies the general hazards of the dangerous goods covered.
For example: GUIDE 124 - Gases-Toxic and/or Corrosive-Oxidizing.
Each guide is divided into three main sections: the first section describes potential hazards
that the material may display in terms of fire/explosion and health effects upon exposure. The
highest potential is listed first. The emergency responder should consult this section first. This
allows the responder to make decisions regarding the protection of the emergency response
team as well as the surrounding population.
The second section outlines suggested public safety measures based on the situation at hand. It
provides general information regarding immediate isolation of the incident site, recommended type of
protective clothing and respiratory protection. Suggested evacuation distances are listed for small
and large spills and for fire situations (fragmentation hazard). It also directs the reader to consult the
tables listing Toxic Inhalation Hazard materials (TIH), chemical warfare agents and water-reactive
materials (green-bordered pages) when the material name is highlighted in the yellow-bordered and
blue-bordered pages.
The third section covers emergency response actions, including first aid. It outlines special
precautions for incidents which involve fire, spill or chemical exposure. Several recommendations
are listed under each part which will further assist in the decision making process. The information
on first aid is general guidance prior to seeking medical care.
Page 3
4-Green-bordered pages: This section contains a table which lists, by ID number, TIH
materials, including certain chemical warfare agents, and water-reactive materials which produce
toxic gases upon contact with water. The table provides two different types of recommended
safe distances which are 鈥淚nitial isolation distances鈥? and 鈥淧rotective action distances.鈥? The
materials are highlighted for easy identification in both numeric (yellow-bordered pages) and
alphabetic (blue-bordered pages) lists of the guidebook. The table provides distances for both
small (approximately 200 liters or less) and large spills (more than 200 liters) for all highlighted
materials. The list is further subdivided into daytime and nighttime situations. This is necessary
due to varying atmospheric conditions which greatly affect the size of the hazardous area. The
distances change from daytime to nighttime due to different mixing and dispersion conditions in
the air. During the night, the air is generally calmer and this causes the chemical to disperse less
and therefore create a toxicity zone which is greater than would usually occur during the day.
During the day, the chemical is generally dispersed by a more active atmosphere. The chemical
will be present in a larger area; however, the actual area where toxic levels are reached will be
smaller (due to increased dispersion). It is the quantity or concentration of the chemical vapor
that poses problems not its mere presence.
The 鈥淚nitial Isolation Distance鈥? is a distance within which all persons should be considered for
evacuation in all directions from the actual spill/leak source. It is a distance (radius) which
defines a circle (Initial Isolation Zone) within which persons may be exposed to dangerous
concentrations upwind of the source and may be exposed to life threatening concentrations
downwind of the source. For example, in the case of Compressed gas, toxic, n.o.s., ID No.
1955, Inhalation Hazard Zone A, the isolation distance for small spills is 600 meters, therefore,
representing an evacuation circle of 1200 meters in diameter.
For the same material, the 鈥淧rotective Action Distance鈥? is 5.9 kilometers for a daytime incident
and 11.0+ kilometers for a nighttime incident, these distances represent a downwind distance
from the spill/leak source within which Protective Actions could be implemented. Protective
Actions are those steps taken to preserve the health and safety of emergency responders and
the public. People in this area could be evacuated and/or sheltered in-place. For more
information, consult the INTRODUCTION TO THE TABLE OF INITIAL ISOLATION AND
PROTECTIVE ACTION DISTANCES (pages 295-296).
What is a TIH?
It is a gas or volatile liquid which is known to be so toxic to humans as to pose a hazard to health
during transportation, or in the absence of adequate data on human toxicity, is presumed to be toxic
to humans because when tested on laboratory animals it has an LC50 value of not more than 5000
ppm.
It is important to note that even though the term zone is used, the hazard zones do not represent
any actual area or distance. The assignment of the zones is strictly a function of their Lethal
Concentration 50 (LC50); for example, TIH Zone A is more toxic than Zone D. All distances
which are listed in the green-bordered pages are calculated by the use of mathematical models
for each TIH material.
Page 4
Assignment of hazard zones:
HAZARD ZONE A: Gases: LC50 of less than or equal to 200 ppm,
Liquids: V equal to or greater than 500 LC50 and LC50 less than or
equal to 200 ppm,
HAZARD ZONE B: Gases: LC50 greater than 200 ppm and less than or equal to 1000 ppm,
Liquids: V equal to or greater than 10 LC50; LC50 less than or equal to
1000 ppm and criteria for Hazard Zone A are not met,
HAZARD ZONE C: LC50 greater than 1000 ppm and less than or equal to 3000 ppm,
HAZARD ZONE D: LC50 greater than 3000 ppm and less than or equal to 5000 ppm.
ISOLATION AND EVACUATION DISTANCES
Isolation or evacuation distances are shown in the guides (orange-bordered pages) and in the
Table of Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances (green-bordered pages). This may
confuse users not thoroughly familiar with ERG2004.
It is important to note that some guides refer only to non-TIH materials (36 guides), some refer
to both TIH and non-TIH materials (21 guides) and some (5 guides) refer only to TIH or Water-
reactive materials (WRM). A guide refers to both TIH and non-TIH materials (for example see
GUIDE 131) when the following sentence appears under the title EVACUATION-Spill: 鈥淪ee the
Table of Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances for highlighted substances. For non-
highlighted substances, increase, in the downwind direction, as necessary, the isolation distance
shown under 鈥楶UBLIC SAFETY.鈥欌?? A guide refers only to TIH or WRM materials (for example
see GUIDE 124) when the following sentence appears under the title EVACUATION-Spill:
鈥淪ee the Table of Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances鈥?. If the previous sentences do
not appear in a guide, then this particular guide refers only to non-TIH materials (for example
see GUIDE 128).
In order to identify appropriate isolation and protective action distances, use the following:
If you are dealing with a TIH/WRM/Chemical warfare material (highlighted entries in the index
lists), the isolation and evacuation distances are found directly in the green-bordered pages.
The guides (orange-bordered pages) also remind the user to refer to the green-bordered
pages for evacuation specific information involving highlighted materials.
If you are dealing with a non-TIH material but the guide refers to both TIH and non-TIH
materials, an immediate isolation distance is provided under the heading PUBLIC SAFETY as
a precautionary measure to prevent injuries. It applies to the non-TIH materials only. In
addition, for evacuation purposes, the guide informs the user under the title EVACUATION-Spill
to increase, for non-highlighted substances, in the downwind direction, if necessary, the immediate
isolation distance listed under 鈥淧UBLIC SAFETY鈥?. For example, GUIDE 131 鈥? Flammable
Liquids-Toxic, instructs the user to: "As an immediate precautionary measure, isolate spill or
leak area for at least 50 meters (150 feet) in all directions." In case of a large spill, the isolation
area could be expanded from 50 meters to a distance deemed as safe by the On-scene-
commander and emergency responders.
If you are dealing with a non-TIH material and the guide refers only to non-TIH materials,
the immediate isolation and evacuation distances are specified as actual distances in the guide
(orange-bordered pages) and are not referenced in the green-bordered pages.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY FROM UPWIND. Resist the urge to rush in; others cannot be
helped until the situation has been fully assessed.
SECURE THE SCENE. Without entering the immediate hazard area, isolate the area and
assure the safety of people and the environment, keep people away from the scene and outside
the safety perimeter. Allow enough room to move and remove your own equipment.
IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS. Placards, container labels, shipping documents, material safety
data sheets, Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Charts, and/or knowledgeable persons on
the scene are valuable information sources. Evaluate all available information and consult the
recommended guide to reduce immediate risks. Additional information, provided by the
shipper or obtained from another authoritative source, may change some of the
emphasis or details found in the guide. Remember, the guide provides only the most
important and worst case scenario information for the initial response in relation to a family or
class of dangerous goods. As more material-specific information becomes available, the response
should be tailored to the situation.
ASSESS THE SITUATION. Consider the following:
- Is there a fire, a spill or a leak?
- What are the weather conditions?
- What is the terrain like?
- Who/what is at risk: people, property or the environment?
- What actions should be taken: Is an evacuation necessary? Is diking
necessary? What resources (human and equipment) are required and
are readily available?
- What can be done immediately?
OBTAIN HELP. Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance
from qualified personnel.
DECIDE ON SITE ENTRY. Any efforts made to rescue persons, protect property or the
environment must be weighed against the possibility that you could become part of the problem.
Enter the area only when wearing appropriate protective gear (see PROTECTIVE CLOTHING,
page 350).
RESPOND. Respond in an appropriate manner. Establish a command post and lines of
communication. Rescue casualties where possible and evacuate if necessary. Maintain control
of the site. Continually reassess the situation and modify the response accordingly. The first
duty is to consider the safety of people in the immediate area, including your own.
ABOVE ALL 鈥? Do not walk into or touch spilled material. Avoid inhalation of fumes, smoke and
vapors, even if no dangerous goods are known to be involved. Do not assume that gases or
vapors are harmless because of lack of a smell鈥攐dorless gases or vapors may be harmful.
Use CAUTION when handling empty containers because they may still present hazards until
they are cleaned and purged of all residues.

WHO TO CALL FOR ASSISTANCE
Upon arrival at the scene, a first responder is expected to recognize the presence of dangerous
goods, protect oneself and the public, secure the area, and call for the assistance of trained
personnel as soon as conditions permit. Follow the steps outlined in your organization鈥檚
standard operating procedures and/or local emergency response plan for obtaining qualified
assistance. Generally, the notification sequence and requests for technical information beyond
what is available in this guidebook should occur in the following order:
1. ORGANIZATION/AGENCY
Notify your organization/agency. This will set in motion a series of events based upon the
information provided. Actions may range from dispatching additional trained personnel to the
scene to activating the local emergency response plan. Ensure that local fire and police
departments have been notified.
2. EMERGENCY RESPONSE TELEPHONE NUMBER
Locate and call the telephone number listed on the shipping document. The person answering
the phone at the listed emergency response number must be knowledgeable of the materials
and mitigation actions to be taken, or must have immediate access to a person who has the
required knowledge.
3. NATIONAL ASSISTANCE
Contact the appropriate emergency response agency listed on the inside back cover of this
guidebook when the emergency response telephone number is not available. Upon receipt of
a call describing the nature of the incident, the agency will provide immediate advice on handling
the early stages of the incident. The agency will also contact the shipper or manufacturer of the
material for more detailed information and request on-scene assistance when necessary.
Collect and provide as much of the following information as can safely be obtained to your chain-of-
command and specialists contacted for technical guidance:
Your name, call back telephone number, FAX number
Location and nature of problem (spill, fire, etc.)
Name and identification number of material(s) involved
Shipper/consignee/point of origin

HAZARD CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM
The hazard class of dangerous goods is indicated either by its class (or division) number or name. For a
placard corresponding to the primary hazard class of a material, the hazard class or division number must
be displayed in the lower corner of the placard. However, no hazard class or division number may be
displayed on a placard representing the subsidiary hazard of a material. For other than Class 7 or the
OXYGEN placard, text indicating a hazard (for example, 鈥淐ORROSIVE鈥?) is not required. Text is shown
only in the U.S. The hazard class or division number must appear on the shipping document after each
shipping name.
Class 1 - Explosives
Division 1.1 Explosives with a mass explosion hazard
Division 1.2 Explosives with a projection hazard
Division 1.3 Explosives with predominantly a fire hazard
Division 1.4 Explosives with no significant blast hazard
Division 1.5 Very insensitive explosives with a mass explosion hazard
Division 1.6 Extremely insensitive articles
Class 2 - Gases
Division 2.1 Flammable gases
Division 2.2 Non-flammable, non-toxic* gases
Division 2.3 Toxic* gases
Class 3 - Flammable liquids (and Combustible liquids [U.S.])
Class 4 - Flammable solids; Spontaneously combustible materials; and Dangerous when wet

INTRODUCTION TO THE TABLE OF PLACARDS
USE THIS TABLE ONLY IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY
THE MATERIAL(S) IN TRANSPORT BY ID NUMBER OR NAME
The next two pages display the placards used on transport vehicles carrying
dangerous goods. As you approach a reported or suspected dangerous goods
incident involving a placarded vehicle:
1. Approach the incident cautiously from upwind to a point from which you
can safely identify and/or read the placard or orange panel information. If
wind direction allows, consider approaching the incident from uphill. Use
binoculars, if available.
2. Match the vehicle placard(s) with one of the placards displayed on the
following pages.
3. Consult the numbered guide associated with the sample placard. Use
that information for now. For example, a FLAMMABLE (Class 3) placard
leads to GUIDE 127. A CORROSIVE (Class 8) placard leads to GUIDE 153. If
multiple placards point to more than one guide, initially use the most
conservative guide (i.e., the guide requiring the greatest degree of protective
actions).
4. Remember that the guides associated with the placards provide the most
significant risk and/or hazard information.
5. When specific information, such as ID number or shipping name, becomes
available, the more specific guide recommended for that material must
be consulted.
6. If GUIDE 111 is being used because only the DANGER/DANGEROUS
placard is displayed or the nature of the spilled, leaking, or burning material
is not known, as soon as possible, get more specific information
concerning the material(s) involved.
7. Asterisks (*) on orange placards represent explosives 鈥淐ompatibility
Group鈥? letters; refer to the Glossary (page 359).
8. Double asterisks (**) on orange placards represent the division of the
explosive.

RAIL CAR IDENTIFICATION CHART*
CAUTION: Emergency response personnel must be aware that rail tank cars vary widely in
construction, fittings and purpose. Tank cars could transport products that may be solids, liquids
or gases. The products may be under pressure. It is essential that products be identified by
consulting shipping documents or train consist or contacting dispatch centers before emergency
response is initiated.
The information stenciled on the sides or ends of tank cars, as illustrated above, may be used to
identify the product utilizing:
a. the commodity name shown; or
b. the other information shown, especially reporting marks and car number which,
when supplied to a dispatch center, will facilitate the identification of the product.
* The recommended guides should be considered as last resort if product
cannot be identified by any other means.

ROAD TRAILER IDENTIFICATION CHART*
(TC341, CGA341)
CAUTION: This chart depicts only the most general shapes of road trailers. Emergency
response personnel must be aware that there are many variations of road trailers, not illustrated
above, that are used for shipping chemical products. The suggested guides are for the most
hazardous products that may be transported in these trailer types.
* The recommended guides should be considered as last resort if product
cannot be identified by any other means.

HAZARD IDENTIFICATION CODES
DISPLAYED ON SOME INTERMODAL CONTAINERS
Hazard identification codes, referred to as 鈥渉azard identification numbers鈥? under European and some
South American regulations, may be found in the top half of an orange panel on some intermodal bulk
containers. The 4-digit identification number is in the bottom half of the orange panel.
33
1203
The hazard identification code in the top half of the orange panel consists of two or three digits.
In general, the digits indicate the following hazards:
2 - EMISSION OF GAS DUE TO PRESSURE OR CHEMICAL REACTION
3 - FLAMMABILITY OF LIQUIDS (VAPORS) AND GASES OR SELF-HEATING LIQUID
4 - FLAMMABILITY OF SOLIDS OR SELF-HEATING SOLID
5 - OXIDIZING (FIRE-INTENSIFYING) EFFECT
6 - TOXICITY OR RISK OF INFECTION
7 - RADIOACTIVITY
8 - CORROSIVITY
9 - MISCELLANEOUS DANGEROUS SUBSTANCE
鈥? Doubling of a digit indicates an intensification of that particular hazard (i.e. 33, 66, 88).
鈥? Where the hazard associated with a material can be adequately indicated by a single
digit, the digit is followed by a zero (i.e. 30, 40, 50).
鈥? A hazard identification code prefixed by the letter 鈥淴鈥? indicates that the material will
react dangerously with water (i.e. X88).
When 9 appears as a 2nd or 3rd digit, this may present a risk of spontaneous violent
鈥?
reaction.

POTENTIAL HAZARDS
HEALTH
鈥? Radiation presents minimal risk to transport workers, emergency response personnel and the
public during transportation accidents. Packaging durability increases as potential radiation
and criticality hazards of the content increase.
鈥? Chemical hazard greatly exceeds radiation hazard.
鈥? Substance reacts with water and water vapor in air to form toxic and corrosive hydrogen
fluoride gas and an extremely irritating and corrosive, white-colored, water-soluble residue.
鈥? If inhaled, may be fatal.
鈥? Direct contact causes burns to skin, eyes, and respiratory tract.
鈥? Low-level radioactive material; very low radiation hazard to people.
鈥? Runoff from control of cargo fire may cause low-level pollution.
FIRE OR EXPLOSION
鈥? Substance does not burn. 鈥? The material may react violently with fuels.
鈥? Containers in protective overpacks (horizontal cylindrical shape with short legs for tie-
downs), are identified with "AF", "B(U)F" or "H(U)" on shipping papers or by markings on
the overpacks. They are designed and evaluated to withstand severe conditions
including total engulfment in flames at temperatures of 800掳C (1475掳F).
鈥? Bare filled cylinders, identified with UN2978 as part of the marking (may also be marked
H(U) or H(M)), may rupture in heat of engulfing fire; bare empty (except for residue)
cylinders will not rupture in fires.

INTRODUCTION TO THE TABLE OF INITIAL ISOLATION
AND PROTECTIVE ACTION DISTANCES
The Table of Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances suggests distances useful to protect
people from vapors resulting from spills involving dangerous goods which are considered toxic
by inhalation (TIH), including certain chemical warfare agents, or which produce toxic gases
upon contact with water. The Table provides first responders with initial guidance until technically
qualified emergency response personnel are available. Distances show areas likely to be
affected during the first 30 minutes after materials are spilled and could increase
with time.
The Initial Isolation Zone defines an area SURROUNDING the incident in which persons
may be exposed to dangerous (upwind) and life threatening (downwind) concentrations of
material. The Protective Action Zone defines an area DOWNWIND from the incident in
which persons may become incapacitated and unable to take protective action and/or incur
serious or irreversible health effects. The Table provides specific guidance for small and
large spills occurring day or night.
Adjusting distances for a specific incident involves many interdependent variables and should
be made only by personnel technically qualified to make such adjustments. For this reason,
no precise guidance can be provided in this document to aid in adjusting the table distances;
however, general guidance follows.
Factors That May Change the Protective Action Distances
The guide for a material (orange-bordered pages) clearly indicates under the section
EVACUATION 鈥? Fire, the evacuation distance required to protect against fragmentation hazard
of a large container. If the material becomes involved in a FIRE, the toxic hazard may become
less important than the fire or explosion hazard.
If more than one tank car, cargo tank, portable tank, or large cylinder involved in the incident is
leaking, LARGE SPILL distances may need to be increased.
For a material with a protective action distance of 11.0+ km (7.0+ miles), the actual distance can
be larger in certain atmospheric conditions. If the dangerous goods vapor plume is channeled
in a valley or between many tall buildings, distances may be larger than shown in the Table due
to less mixing of the plume with the atmosphere. Daytime spills in regions with known strong
inversions or snow cover, or occurring near sunset, accompanied by a steady wind, may
require an increase in protective action distance. When these conditions are present, airborne
contaminants mix and disperse more slowly and may travel much farther downwind. In addition,
protective action distances may be larger for liquid spills when either the material or outdoor
temperature exceeds 30掳C (86掳F).
Materials which react with water to produce large amounts of toxic gases are included in the
Table of Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances. Note that some water-reactive materials
Page 295
(WRM) which are also TIH (e.g., Bromine trifluoride (1746), Thionyl chloride (1836), etc.)
produce additional TIH materials when spilled in water. For these materials, two entries are
provided in the Table of Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances (i.e., for spills on land
and for spills in water). If it is not clear whether the spill is on land or in water, or in cases where
the spill occurs both on land and in water, choose the larger Protective Action Distance. Following
the Table of Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances is a table that lists the materials which,
when spilled in water, produce toxic gases. The toxic gases that these water-reactive materials
(WRM) produce are also included in the Table.
When a water-reactive TIH producing material is spilled into a river or stream, the source of the
toxic gas may move with the current and stretch from the spill point downstream for a substantial
distance.
Certain chemical warfare agents have been added to the Table of Initial Isolation and Protective
Action Distances. The distances shown were calculated using worst case scenarios for these
agents when used as a weapon.
Initial isolation and protective action distances in this guidebook are derived from historical data
on transportation incidents and the use of statistical models. For worst case scenarios involving
the instantaneous release of the entire contents of a package (e.g., as a result of terrorism,
sabotage or catastrophic accident) the distances may increase. The increase can be estimated
by multiplying the distances by a factor of two (2).

PROTECTIVE ACTION DECISION FACTORS TO CONSIDER
The choice of protective actions for a given situation depends on a number of factors. For some
cases, evacuation may be the best option; in others, sheltering in-place may be the best course.
Sometimes, these two actions may be used in combination. In any emergency, officials need to
quickly give the public instructions. The public will need continuing information and instructions
while being evacuated or sheltered in-place.
Proper evaluation of the factors listed below will determine the effectiveness of evacuation or in-
place protection. The importance of these factors can vary with emergency conditions. In
specific emergencies, other factors may need to be identified and considered as well. This list
indicates what kind of information may be needed to make the initial decision.

PROTECTIVE ACTIONS
Protective Actions are those steps taken to preserve the health and safety of emergency
responders and the public during an incident involving releases of dangerous goods. The
Table of Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances (green-bordered pages) predicts
the size of downwind areas which could be affected by a cloud of toxic gas. People in this
area should be evacuated and/or sheltered in-place inside buildings.
Isolate Hazard Area and Deny Entry means keep everybody away from the area if they
are not directly involved in emergency response operations. Unprotected emergency re-
sponders should not be allowed to enter the isolation zone. This 鈥渋solation鈥? task is done first
to establish control over the area of operations. This is the first step for any protective
actions that may follow. See the Table of Isolation and Protective Action Distances (green-
bordered pages) for more detailed information on specific materials.
Evacuate means move all people from a threatened area to a safer place. To perform an
evacuation, there must be enough time for people to be warned, to get ready, and to leave
an area. If there is enough time, evacuation is the best protective action. Begin evacuating
people nearby and those outdoors in direct view of the scene. When additional help ar-
rives, expand the area to be evacuated downwind and crosswind to at least the extent
recommended in this guidebook. Even after people move to the distances recommended,
they may not be completely safe from harm. They should not be permitted to congregate at
such distances. Send evacuees to a definite place, by a specific route, far enough away so
they will not have to be moved again if the wind shifts.
Shelter In-Place means people should seek shelter inside a building and remain inside
until the danger passes. Sheltering in-place is used when evacuating the public would
cause greater risk than staying where they are, or when an evacuation cannot be
performed. Direct the people inside to close all doors and windows and to shut off all
ventilating, heating and cooling systems. In-place protection may not be the best op-
tion if (a) the vapors are flammable; (b) if it will take a long time for the gas to clear the area;
or (c) if buildings cannot be closed tightly. Vehicles can offer some protection for a short
period if the windows are closed and the ventilating systems are shut off. Vehicles are not
as effective as buildings for in-place protection.
It is vital to maintain communications with competent persons inside the building so
that they are advised about changing conditions. Persons protected-in-place should be
warned to stay far from windows because of the danger from glass and projected metal
fragments in a fire and/or explosion.
Every dangerous goods incident is different. Each will have special problems and con-
cerns. Action to protect the public must be selected carefully. These pages can help with
initial decisions on how to protect the public. Officials must continue to gather information
and monitor the situation until the threat is removed.

BACKGROUND ON THE INITIAL ISOLATION
AND PROTECTIVE ACTION DISTANCE TABLE
Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances in this guidebook were determined for small
and large spills occurring during day or night. The overall analysis was statistical in nature
and utilized state-of-the-art emission rate and dispersion models; statistical release data
from the U.S. DOT HMIS (Hazardous Materials Incident Reporting System) database; 5
years of meteorological observations from over 120 locations in United States, Canada and
Mexico; and the most current toxicological exposure guidelines.
For each chemical, thousands of hypothetical releases were modeled to account for the
statistical variation in both release amount and atmospheric conditions. Based on this statistical
sample, the 90% percentile Protective Action Distance for each chemical and category was
selected to appear in the Table. A brief description of the analysis is provided below. A
detailed report outlining the methodology and data used in the generation of the Initial Isolation
and Protective Action Distances may be obtained from the U.S. Department of Transportation,
Research and Special Programs Administration.
Release amounts and emission rates into the atmosphere were statistically modeled based on
(1) data from the U.S. DOT HMIS database; (2) container types and sizes authorized for transport
as specified in 49 CFR 搂172.101 and Part 173; (3) physical properties of the materials involved, and
(4) atmospheric data from a historical database. The emission model calculated the release of
vapor due to evaporation of pools on the ground, direct release of vapors from the container, or a
combination of both, as would occur for liquefied gases which can flash to form both a vapor/
aerosol mixture and an evaporating pool. In addition, the emission model also calculated the
emission of toxic vapor by-products generated from spilling water-reactive chemicals in water. Spills
that involve releases of approximately 200 liters or less are considered Small Spills, while spills that
involve quantities greater than 200 liters are considered Large Spills.
Downwind dispersion of the vapor was estimated for each case modeled. Atmospheric
parameters affecting the dispersion, and the emission rate, were selected in a statistical
fashion from a database containing hourly meteorological data from 120 cities in United
States, Canada and Mexico. The dispersion calculation accounted for the time dependent
emission rate from the source as well as the density of the vapor plume (i.e., heavy gas
effects). Since atmospheric mixing is less effective at dispersing vapor plumes during
nighttime, day and night were separated in the analysis. In the Table, 鈥淒ay鈥? refers to time
periods after sunrise and before sunset, while 鈥淣ight鈥? includes all hours between sunset and
sunrise.
Toxicological short-term exposure guidelines for the chemicals were applied to determine
the downwind distance to which persons may become incapacitated and unable to take
protective action or may incur serious health effects. Toxicological exposure guidelines were
chosen from (1) emergency response guidelines, (2) occupational health guidelines, or (3)
lethal concentrations determined from animal studies, as recommended by an independent
panel of toxicological experts from industry and academia.

HOW TO USE THE TABLE OF INITIAL ISOLATION AND
PROTECTIVE ACTION DISTANCES
(1) The responder should already have:
鈥? Identified the material by its ID Number and Name; (if an ID Number cannot be
found, use the Name of Material index in the blue-bordered pages to locate that
number.)
鈥? Found the three-digit guide for that material in order to consult the emergency
actions recommended jointly with this table;
鈥? Noted the wind direction.
(2) Look in this Table (the green-bordered pages) for the ID Number and Name of the
Material involved in the incident. Some ID Numbers have more than one shipping
name listed鈥攍ook for the specific name of the material. (If the shipping name is not
known and the Table lists more than one name for the same ID Number, use the entry
with the largest protective action distances.)
(3) Determine if the incident involves a SMALL or LARGE spill and if DAY or NIGHT.
Generally, a SMALL SPILL is one which involves a single, small package (e.g., a drum
containing up to approximately 200 liters), a small cylinder, or a small leak from a large
package. A LARGE SPILL is one which involves a spill from a large package, or
multiple spills from many small packages. DAY is any time after sunrise and before
sunset. NIGHT is any time between sunset and sunrise.
Initial Isolation
Zone
(4) Look up the initial ISOLATION distance.
Direct all persons to move, in a crosswind Initial Isolation
direction, away from the spill to the Distance
distance specified鈥攊n meters and feet.
Spill
(5) Look up the initial PROTECTIVE ACTION DISTANCE shown in the Table. For a given
material, spill size, and whether day or night, the Table gives the downwind distance鈥攊n
kilometers and miles鈥? for which protective actions should be considered. For practical
purposes, the Protective Action Zone (i.e., the area in which people are at risk of harmful
exposure) is a square, whose length and width are the same as the downwind distance
shown in the Table.
Page 300
(6) Initiate Protective Actions to the extent possible, beginning with those closest to the
spill site and working away from the site in the downwind direction. When a water-
reactive TIH producing material is spilled into a river or stream, the source of the toxic
gas may move with the current or stretch from the spill point downstream for a substantial
distance.
The shape of the area in which protective actions should be taken (the Protective
Action Zone) is shown in this figure. The spill is located at the center of the small
circle. The larger circle represents the INITIAL ISOLATION zone around the spill.

PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
Street Clothing and Work Uniforms. These garments, such as uniforms worn by police and
emergency medical services personnel, provide almost no protection from the harmful effects of
dangerous goods.
Structural Fire Fighters鈥? Protective Clothing (SFPC). This category of clothing, often
called turnout or bunker gear, means the protective clothing normally worn by fire fighters
during structural fire fighting operations. It includes a helmet, coat, pants, boots, gloves and
a hood to cover parts of the head not protected by the helmet and facepiece. This clothing
must be used with full-facepiece positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
This protective clothing should, at a minimum, meet the OSHA Fire Brigades Standard (29
CFR 1910.156). Structural fire fighters鈥? protective clothing provides limited protection from
heat and cold, but may not provide adequate protection from the harmful vapors or liquids
that are encountered during dangerous goods incidents. Each guide includes a statement
about the use of SFPC in incidents involving those materials referenced by that guide. Some
guides state that SFPC provides limited protection. In those cases, the responder wearing
SFPC and SCBA may be able to perform an expedient, that is quick 鈥渋n-and-out鈥?, operation.
However, this type of operation can place the responder at risk of exposure, injury or death.
The incident commander makes the decision to perform this operation only if an overriding
benefit can be gained (i.e., perform an immediate rescue, turn off a valve to control a leak,
etc.). The coverall-type protective clothing customarily worn to fight fires in forests or wildlands
is not SFPC and is not recommended nor referred to elsewhere in this guidebook.
Positive Pressure Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA). This apparatus provides
a constant, positive pressure flow of air within the facepiece, even if one inhales deeply while
doing heavy work. Use apparatus certified by NIOSH and the Department of Labor/Mine
Safety and Health Administration in accordance with 42 CFR Part 84. Use it in accordance
with the requirements for respiratory protection specified in OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134
(Respiratory Protection) and/or 29 CFR 1910.156 (f) (Fire Brigades Standard). Chemical-
cartridge respirators or other filtering masks are not acceptable substitutes for positive pressure
self-contained breathing apparatus. Demand-type SCBA does not meet the OSHA 29 CFR
1910.156 (f)(1)(i) of the Fire Brigades Standard.
Chemical Protective Clothing and Equipment. Safe use of this type of protective clothing
and equipment requires specific skills developed through training and experience. It is
generally not available to, or used by, first responders. This type of special clothing may
protect against one chemical, yet be readily permeated by chemicals for which it was not
designed. Therefore, protective clothing should not be used unless it is compatible with the
released material. This type of special clothing offers little or no protection against heat and/
or cold. Examples of this type of equipment have been described as (1) Vapor Protective Suits
(NFPA 1991), also known as Totally-Encapsulating Chemical Protective (TECP) Suits or Level
A* protection (OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120, Appendix A & B), and (2) Liquid-Splash Protective Suits
(NFPA 1992 & 1993), also known as Level B* or C* protection (OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120,
Page 350
Appendix A & B) or suits for chemical/biological terrorism incidents (NFPA 1994), class 1, 2 or 3
Ensembles. No single protective clothing material will protect you from all dangerous goods. Do
not assume any protective clothing is resistant to cold and/or heat or flame exposure unless it is
so certified by the manufacturer. (NFPA 1991 5-3 Flammability Resistance Test and 5-6 Cold
Temperature Performance Test)

FIRE AND SPILL CONTROL
FIRE CONTROL
Water is the most common and generally most available fire extinguishing agent. Exercise
caution in selecting a fire extinguishing method since there are many factors to be considered
in an incident. Water may be ineffective in fighting fires involving some materials; its
effectiveness depends greatly on the method of application.
Spill fires involving flammable liquids are generally controlled by applying a fire fighting foam
to the surface of the burning material. Fighting flammable liquid fires requires foam concentrate
which is chemically compatible with the burning material, correct mixing of the foam concentrate
with water and air, and careful application and maintenance of the foam blanket. There are
two general types of fire fighting foam: regular and alcohol-resistant. Examples of regular
foam are protein-base, fluoroprotein, and aqueous film forming foam (AFFF). Some flammable
liquids, including many petroleum products, can be controlled by applying regular foam.
Other flammable liquids, including polar solvents (flammable liquids which are water soluble)
such as alcohols and ketones, have different chemical properties. A fire involving these
materials cannot be easily controlled with regular foam and requires application of
alcohol-resistant foam. Polar-solvent fires may be difficult to control and require a higher
foam application rate than other flammable liquid fires (see NFPA/ANSI Standards 11 and
11A for further information). Refer to the appropriate guide to determine which type of foam
is recommended. Although it is impossible to make specific recommendations for flammable
liquids which have subsidiary corrosive or toxic hazards, alcohol-resistant foam may be
effective for many of these materials. The emergency response telephone number on the
shipping document, or the appropriate emergency response agency, should be contacted as
soon as possible for guidance on the proper fire extinguishing agent to use. The final selection
of the agent and method depends on many factors such as incident location, exposure hazards,
size of the fire, environmental concerns, as well as the availability of extinguishing agents
and equipment at the scene.
WATER REACTIVE MATERIALS
Water is sometimes used to flush spills and to reduce or direct vapors in spill situations.
Some of the materials covered by the guidebook can react violently or even explosively with
water. In these cases, consider letting the fire burn or leaving the spill alone (except to
prevent its spreading by diking) until additional technical advice can be obtained. The
applicable guides clearly warn you of these potentially dangerous reactions. These materials
require technical advice since
(1) water getting inside a ruptured or leaking container may cause an explosion;
(2) water may be needed to cool adjoining containers to prevent their rupturing
(exploding) or further spread of the fires;
(3) water may be effective in mitigating an incident involving a water-reactive material
only if it can be applied at a sufficient flooding rate for an extended period; and
Page 352
(4) the products from the reaction with water may be more toxic, corrosive, or
otherwise more undesirable than the product of the fire without water applied.
When responding to an incident involving water-reactive chemicals, take into account the
existing conditions such as wind, precipitation, location and accessibility to the incident, as
well as the availability of the agents to control the fire or spill. Because there are variables to
consider, the decision to use water on fires or spills involving water-reactive materials should
be based on information from an authoritative source; for example, a producer of the material,
who can be contacted through the emergency response telephone number or the appropriate
emergency response agency.
VAPOR CONTROL
Limiting the amount of vapor released from a pool of flammable or corrosive liquids is an
operational concern. It requires the use of proper protective clothing, specialized equipment,
appropriate chemical agents, and skilled personnel. Before engaging in vapor control, get
advice from an authoritative source as to the proper tactics.
There are several ways to minimize the amount of vapors escaping from pools of spilled
liquids, such as special foams, adsorbing agents, absorbing agents, and neutralizing agents.
To be effective, these vapor control methods must be selected for the specific material involved
and performed in a manner that will mitigate, not worsen, the incident.
Where specific materials are known, such as at manufacturing or storage facilities, it is
desirable for the dangerous goods response team to prearrange with the facility operators to
select and stockpile these control agents in advance of a spill. In the field, first responders
may not have the most effective vapor control agent for the material available. They are
likely to have only water and only one type of fire fighting foam on their vehicles. If the
available foam is inappropriate for use, they are likely to use water spray. Because the water
is being used to form a vapor seal, care must be taken not to churn or further spread the spill
during application. Vapors that do not react with water may be directed away from the site
using the air currents surrounding the water spray. Before using water spray or other methods
to safely control vapor emission or to suppress ignition, obtain technical advice, based on
specific chemical name identification.
Page 353
CRIMINAL/TERRORIST USE OF CHEMICAL/BIOLOGICAL/RADIOLOGICAL AGENTS
The following is intended to supply information to first responders for use in making a preliminary
assessment of a situation that they suspect involves criminal/terrorist use of chemical, biological
(CB) agents and/or radioactive materials. To aid in the assessment, a list of observable indicators
of the use and/or presence of a CB agent or radioactive material is provided in the following
paragraphs.
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN A CHEMICAL, BIOLOGICAL AND RADIOLOGICAL AGENT
Chemical and biological agents as well as radioactive materials can be dispersed in the air we
breathe, the water we drink, or on surfaces we physically contact. Dispersion methods may be
as simple as opening a container, using conventional (garden) spray devices, or as elaborate as
detonating an improvised explosive device.
Chemical Incidents are characterized by the rapid onset of medical symptoms (minutes to
hours) and easily observed signatures (colored residue, dead foliage, pungent odor, dead
insects and animals).
Biological Incidents are characterized by the onset of symptoms in hours to days. Typically,
there will be no characteristic signatures because biological agents are usually odorless and
colorless. Because of the delayed onset of symptoms in a biological incident, the area
affected may be greater due to the movement of infected individuals.
Radiological Incidents are characterized by the onset of symptoms, if any, in days to weeks or
longer. Typically, there will be no characteristic signatures because radioactive materials are
usually odorless and colorless. Specialized equipment is required to determine the size of the
affected area, and whether the level of radioactivity presents an immediate or long-term health
hazard. Because radioactivity is not detectable without special equipment, the affected area may
be greater due to the migration of contaminated individuals.
At the levels created by most probable sources, not enough radiation would be generated to kill
people or cause severe illness. In a radiological incident generated by a 鈥渄irty bomb鈥?, or
Radiological Dispersal Device (RDD), in which a conventional explosive is detonated to spread
radioactive contamination, the primary hazard is from the explosion. However, certain radioactive
materials dispersed in the air could contaminate up to several city blocks, creating fear and
possibly panic, and requiring potentially costly cleanup.
INDICATORS OF A POSSIBLE CHEMICAL INCIDENT
Dead animals/birds/fish Not just an occasional road kill, but numerous animals (wild
and domestic, small and large), birds, and fish in the same
area.
Page 354
INDICATORS OF A POSSIBLE CHEMICAL INCIDENT (Continued)
Lack of insect life If normal insect activity (ground, air, and/or water) is missing,
check the ground/water surface/shore line for dead insects.
If near water, check for dead fish/aquatic birds.
Unexplained odors Smells may range from fruity to flowery to sharp/pungent to
garlic/ horseradish-like to bitter almonds/peach kernels to
new mown hay. It is important to note that the particular odor
is completely out of character with its surroundings.
Unusual numbers of dying or Health problems including nausea, disorientation, difficulty
sick people (mass casualties) in breathing, convulsions, localized sweating, conjunctivitis
(reddening of eyes/nerve agent symptoms), erythema
(reddening of skin/vesicant symptoms) and death.
Pattern of casualties Casualties will likely be distributed downwind, or if indoors,
by the air ventilation system.
Blisters/rashes Numerous individuals experiencing unexplained water-like
blisters, weals (like bee stings), and/or rashes.
Illness in confined area Different casualty rates for people working indoors versus
outdoors dependent on where the agent was released.
Unusual liquid droplets Numerous surfaces exhibit oily droplets/film; numerous water
surfaces have an oily film. (No recent rain.)
Different looking areas Not just a patch of dead weeds, but trees, shrubs, bushes,
food crops, and/or lawns that are dead, discolored, or
withered. (No current drought.)
Low-lying clouds Low-lying cloud/fog-like condition that is not consistent with
its surroundings.
Unusual metal debris Unexplained bomb/munitions-like material, especially if it
contains a liquid.
INDICATORS OF A POSSIBLE BIOLOGICAL INCIDENT
Unusual numbers of sick or Any number of symptoms may occur. Casualties may
dying people or animals occur hours to days after an incident has occurred. The
time required before symptoms are observed is dependent
on the agent used.
Unscheduled and unusual Especially if outdoors during periods of darkness.
spray being disseminated
Abandoned spray devices Devices may not have distinct odors.
Page 355
INDICATORS OF A POSSIBLE RADIOLOGICAL INCIDENT
Radiation Symbols Containers may display a 鈥減ropeller鈥? radiation symbol.
Unusual metal debris Unexplained bomb/munitions-like material.
Heat-emitting material Material that is hot or seems to emit heat without any sign of
an external heat source.
Glowing material Strongly radioactive material may emit or cause
radioluminescence.
Sick people/animals In very improbable scenarios there may be unusual numbers
of sick or dying people or animals. Casualties may occur
hours to days or weeks after an incident has occurred. The
time required before symptoms are observed is dependent
on the radioactive material used, and the dose received.
Possible symptoms include skin reddening or vomiting.
PERSONAL SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
When approaching a scene that may involve CB agents or radioactive materials, the most critical
consideration is the safety of oneself and other responders. Protective clothing and respiratory
protection of appropriate level of safety must be used. Be aware that the presence and identification
of CB or radioactive materials may not be verifiable, especially in the case of biological or
radiological agents. The following actions/measures to be considered are applicable to either a
chemical, biological or radiological incident. The guidance is general in nature, not all
encompassing, and its applicability should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Approach and response strategies. Protect yourself and use a safe approach (minimize any
exposure time, maximize the distance between you and the item that is likely to harm you, use
cover as protection and wear appropriate personal protective equipment and respiratory
protection). Identify and estimate the hazard by using indicators as provided above. Isolate the
area and secure the scene; potentially contaminated people should be isolated and decontaminated
as soon as possible. To the extent possible, take measures to limit the spread of contamination.
In the event of a chemical incident, the fading of chemical odors is not necessarily an indication of
reduced vapor concentrations. Some chemicals deaden the senses giving the false perception
that the chemical is no longer present.
If there is any indication that an area may be contaminated with radioactive materials, including the
site of any non-accidental explosion, responder personnel should be equipped with radiation
detection equipment that would alert them if they are entering a radiologically compromised
environment, and should have received adequate training in its use. This equipment should be
designed in such a way that it can also alert the responders when an unacceptable ambient dose
rate or ambient dose has been reached.
Page 356
Decontamination measures. Emergency responders should follow standard decontamination
procedures (flush-strip-flush). Mass casualty decontamination should begin as soon as possible
by stripping (all clothing) and flushing (soap and water). If biological agents are involved or
suspected, careful washing and use of a brush are more effective. If chemical agents are
suspected, the most important and effective decontamination will be that done within the first one or
two minutes. If possible, further decontamination should be performed using a 0.5% hypochlorite
solution (1 part household bleach mixed with 9 parts water). If biological agents are suspected,
a contact time of 10 to 15 minutes should be allowed before rinsing. The solution can be used on
soft tissue wounds, but must not be used in eyes or open wounds of the abdomen, chest, brain,
or spine. For further information contact the agencies listed in this guidebook.
For persons contaminated with radioactive material, remove them to a low radiation area if
necessary. Remove their clothing and place it in a clearly marked sealed receptacle, such as a
plastic bag, for later testing. Use decontamination methods described above, but avoid breaking
the skin, e.g., from shaving, or overly vigorous brushing. External radiological contamination on
intact skin surface rarely causes a high enough dose to be a hazard to either the contaminated
person or the first responders. For this reason, except in very unusual circumstances, an injured
person who is also radiologically contaminated should be medically stabilized, taking care to
minimize the spread of the contamination to the extent possible, before decontamination measures

Alcohol resistant foam A foam that is resistant to 鈥減olar鈥? chemicals such as ketones and
esters which may break down other types of foam.
Biological agents Living organisms that cause disease, sickness and mortality in
humans. Anthrax and Ebola are examples of biological agents.
Refer to GUIDE 158.
Blister agents (vesicants) Substances that cause blistering of the skin. Exposure is through
liquid or vapor contact with any exposed tissue (eyes, skin, lungs).
Mustard (H), Distilled Mustard (HD), Nitrogen Mustard (HN) and
Lewisite (L) are blister agents.
Symptoms: Red eyes, skin irritation, burning of skin, blisters,
upper respiratory damage, cough, hoarseness.
Blood agents Substances that injure a person by interfering with cell respiration
(the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between blood and
tissues). Hydrogen cyanide (AC) and Cyanogen chloride (CK)
are blood agents.
Symptoms: Respiratory distress, headache, unresponsiveness,
seizures, coma.
Burn Refers to either a chemical or thermal burn, the former may be
caused by corrosive substances and the latter by liquefied
cryogenic gases, hot molten substances, or flames.
Choking agents Substances that cause physical injury to the lungs. Exposure is
through inhalation. In extreme cases, membranes swell and lungs
become filled with liquid (pulmonary edema). Death results from
lack of oxygen; hence, the victim is 鈥渃hoked鈥?. Phosgene (CG) is
a choking agent.
Symptoms: irritation to eyes/nose/throat, respiratory distress,
nausea and vomiting, burning of exposed skin.
CO2 Carbon dioxide gas.
Cold zone Area where the command post and support functions that are
necessary to control the incident are located. This is also referred
to as the clean zone, green zone or support zone in other documents.
(EPA Standard Operating Safety Guidelines, OSHA 29 CFR
1910.120, NFPA 472)

Glossary
Liquids which have a flash point greater than 60.5oC (141oF) and
Combustible liquid
below 93oC (200oF). U.S. regulations permit a flammable liquid
with a flash point between 38oC (100oF) and 60.5oC (141oF) to be
reclassed as a combustible liquid.
Compatibility Group Letters identify explosives that are deemed to be compatible. Class
1 materials are considered to be 鈥渃ompatible鈥? if they can be
transported together without significantly increasing either the
probability of an incident or, for a given quantity, the magnitude
of the effects of such an incident.

could be activated by exposure to air or water.
N Articles which contain only extremely insensitive
detonating substances and demonstrate a negligible
probability of accidental ignition or propagation.
S Packaged substances or articles which, if accidentally
initiated, produce effects that are usually confined to the
immediate vicinity.

Glossary
Control zones Designated areas at dangerous goods incidents, based on safety
and the degree of hazard. Many terms are used to describe control
zones; however, in this guidebook, these zones are defined as the
hot/exclusion/restricted zone, warm/contamination reduction/limited
access zone, and cold/support/clean zone. (EPA Standard
Operating Safety Guidelines, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120, NFPA 472)
Cryogenic liquid A refrigerated, liquefied gas that has a boiling point colder than
-90oC (-130oF) at atmospheric pressure.
Dangerous Water Produces significant toxic gas when it comes in contact with water.
Reactive Material
Decomposition products Products of a chemical or thermal break-down of a substance.
Decontamination The removal of dangerous goods from personnel and equipment to
the extent necessary to prevent potential adverse health effects.
Always avoid direct or indirect contact with dangerous goods;
however, if contact occurs, personnel should be decontaminated as
soon as possible. Since the methods used to decontaminate personnel
and equipment differ from one chemical to another, contact the
chemical manufacturer, through the agencies listed on the inside
back cover, to determine the appropriate procedure. Contaminated
clothing and equipment should be removed after use and stored in
a controlled area (warm/contamination reduction/limited access zone)
until cleanup procedures can be initiated. In some cases, protective
clothing and equipment cannot be decontaminated and must be
disposed of in a proper manner.
Dry chemical A preparation designed for fighting fires involving flammable liquids,
pyrophoric substances and electrical equipment. Common types
contain sodium bicarbonate or potassium bicarbonate.
Edema The accumulation of an excessive amount of watery fluid in cells and
tissues. Pulmonary edema is an excessive buildup of water in the
lungs, for instance, after inhalation of a gas that is corrosive to lung
tissue.
ERPG(s) Emergency Response Planning Guideline(s). Values intended
to provide estimates of concentration ranges above which one
could reasonably anticipate observing adverse health effects;
see ERPG-1, ERPG-2 and ERPG-3.
Page 360
Glossary
ERPG-1 The maximum airborne concentration below which it is believed
nearly all individuals could be exposed for up to 1 hour without
experiencing more than mild, transient adverse health effects or
without perceiving a clearly defined objectionable odor.
ERPG-2 The maximum airborne concentration below which it is believed
nearly all individuals could be exposed for up to 1 hour without
experiencing or developing irreversible or other serious health
effects or symptoms that could impair an individual鈥檚 ability to take
protective action.
ERPG-3 The maximum airborne concentration below which it is believed
nearly all individuals could be exposed for up to 1 hour without
experiencing or developing life-threatening health effects.
A liquid that has a flash point of 60.5oC (141oF) or lower.
Flammable liquid
Flash point Lowest temperature at which a liquid or solid gives off vapor in such
a concentration that, when the vapor combines with air near the
surface of the liquid or solid, a flammable mixture is formed. Hence,
the lower the flash point, the more flammable the material.
Hazard zones (Inhalation HAZARD ZONE A: Gases: LC50 of less than or equal to 200
Hazard Zones) ppm,
Liquids: V equal to or greater than 500
LC50 and LC50 less than or equal to 200
ppm,
HAZARD ZONE B: Gases: LC50 greater than 200 ppm and
less than or equal to 1000 ppm,
Liquids: V equal to or greater than 10
LC50; LC50 less than or equal to 1000 ppm
and criteria for Hazard Zone A are not met.
HAZARD ZONE C: LC50 greater than 1000 ppm and less than or
equal to 3000 ppm,
HAZARD ZONE D: LC50 greater than 3000 ppm and less than or
equal to 5000 ppm.
Hot zone Area immediately surrounding a dangerous goods incident which
extends far enough to prevent adverse effects from released
dangerous goods to personnel outside the zone. This zone is also
referred to as exclusion zone, red zone or restricted zone in other
documents. (EPA Standard Operating Safety Guidelines, OSHA 29
CFR 1910.120, NFPA 472)
Page 361
Glossary
Immiscible In this guidebook, means that a material does not mix readily with water.
LC50 Lethal concentration 50. The concentration of a material administered
by inhalation that is expected to cause the death of 50% of an
experimental animal population within a specified time.
(Concentration is reported in either ppm or mg/m3)
Mass explosion Explosion which affects almost the entire load virtually
instantaneously.
mg/m3 Milligrams of a material per cubic meter of air.
Miscible In this guidebook, means that a material mixes readily with water.
mL/m3 Milliliters of a material per cubic meter of air. (1 mL/m3 equals 1
ppm)
Nerve agents Substances that interfere with the central nervous system. Exposure
is primarily through contact with the liquid (via skin and eyes) and
secondarily through inhalation of the vapor. Tabun (GA), Sarin
(GB), Soman (GD) and VX are nerve agents.
Symptoms: Pinpoint pupils, extreme headache, severe tightness in
the chest, dyspnea, runny nose, coughing, salivation, unresponsiveness,
seizures.
Non-polar See 鈥淚mmiscible鈥?.
n.o.s. These letters refer to not otherwise specified. The entries which use
this description are generic names such as 鈥淐orrosive liquid, n.o.s.鈥?
This means that the actual chemical name for that corrosive liquid is
not listed in the regulations; therefore, a generic name must be used
to describe it on shipping papers.
Noxious In this guidebook, means that a material may be harmful or injurious
to health or physical well-being.
Oxidizer A chemical which supplies its own oxygen and which helps other
combustible material burn more readily.
Page 362
Glossary
P The letter 鈥淧鈥? following a guide number in the yellow-bordered and
blue-bordered pages identifies a material which may polymerize
violently under high temperature conditions or contamination with
other products. This polymerization will produce heat and high
pressure buildup in containers which may explode or rupture. (See
polymerization below.)
pH pH is a value that represents the acidity or alkalinity of a water solution.
Pure water has a pH of 7. A pH value below 7 indicates an acid solution
(a pH of 1 is extremely acidic). A pH above 7 indicates an alkaline
solution (a pH of 14 is extremely alkaline). Acids and alkalies (bases)
are commonly referred to as corrosive materials.
PIH Poison Inhalation Hazard. Term used to describe gases and volatile
liquids that are toxic when inhaled. (Same as TIH)
Polar See 鈥淢iscible鈥?.
Polymerization This term describes a chemical reaction which is generally associated
with the production of plastic substances. Basically, the individual
molecules of the chemical (liquid or gas) react with each other to
produce what can be described as a long chain. These chains can
be formed in many useful applications. A well known example is the
styrofoam (polystyrene) coffee cup which is formed when liquid
molecules of styrene react with each other or polymerize forming a
solid, therefore changing the name from styrene to polystyrene
(poly means many).
Parts per million. (1 ppm equals 1 mL/m3)
ppm
Protective clothing Includes both respiratory and physical protection. One cannot assign
a level of protection to clothing or respiratory devices separately.
These levels were accepted and defined by response organizations
such as U.S. Coast Guard, NIOSH, and U.S. EPA.
Level A: SCBA plus totally encapsulating chemical resistant clothing
(permeation resistant).
Level B: SCBA plus hooded chemical resistant clothing (splash suit).
Level C: Full or half-face respirator plus hooded chemical resistant
clothing (splash suit).
Level D: Coverall with no respiratory protection.
Pyrophoric A material which ignites spontaneously upon exposure to air (or oxygen).
Page 363
Glossary
Radioactivity The property of some substances to emit invisible and potentially
harmful radiation.
Radiation Authority As referred to in GUIDES 161 through 166 for radioactive materials,
the Radiation Authority is either a Federal, state/provincial agency
or state/province designated official. The responsibilities of this
authority include evaluating radiological hazard conditions during
normal operations and during emergencies. If the identity and
telephone number of the authority are not known by emergency
responders, or included in the local response plan, the information
can be obtained from the agencies listed on the inside back cover.
They maintain a periodically updated list of radiation authorities.
Refrigerated liquid See 鈥淐ryogenic liquid鈥?.
Straight (solid) stream Method used to apply or distribute water from the end of a hose.
The water is delivered under pressure for penetration. In an efficient
straight (solid) stream, approximately 90% of the water passes
through an imaginary circle 38 cm (15 inches) in diameter at the
breaking point. Hose (solid or straight) streams are frequently used
to cool tanks and other equipment exposed to flammable liquid fires,
or for washing burning spills away from danger points. However,
straight streams will cause a spill fire to spread if improperly used or
when directed into open containers of flammable and combustible
liquids.
TIH Toxic Inhalation Hazard. Term used to describe gases and volatile
liquids that are toxic when inhaled. (Same as PIH)
Saturated vapor concentration in air of a material in mL/m3 (volatility)
V
at 20oC and standard atmospheric pressure.
Vapor density Weight of a volume of pure vapor or gas (with no air present)
compared to the weight of an equal volume of dry air at the same
temperature and pressure. A vapor density less than 1 (one) indicates
that the vapor is lighter than air and will tend to rise. A vapor density
greater than 1 (one) indicates that the vapor is heavier than air and
may travel along the ground.
Vapor pressure Pressure at which a liquid and its vapor are in equilibrium at a given
temperature. Liquids with high vapor pressures evaporate rapidly.
Page 364
Glossary
Viscosity Measure of a liquid鈥檚 internal resistance to flow. This property is
important because it indicates how fast a material will leak out through
holes in containers or tanks.
Warm zone Area between Hot and Cold zones where personnel and equipment
decontamination and hot zone support take place. It includes control
points for the access corridor and thus assists in reducing the spread
of contamination. Also referred to as the contamination reduction
corridor (CRC), contamination reduction zone (CRZ), yellow zone
or limited access zone in other documents. (EPA Standard Operating
Safety Guidelines, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120, NFPA 472)
Water-sensitive Substances which may produce flammable and/or toxic
decomposition products upon contact with water.
Water spray (fog) Method or way to apply or distribute water. The water is finely
divided to provide for high heat absorption. Water spray patterns
can range from about 10 to 90 degrees. Water spray streams
can be used to extinguish or control the burning of a fire or to
provide exposure protection for personnel, equipment, buildings,
etc. (This method can be used to absorb vapors, knock-
down vapors or disperse vapors. Direct a water spray (fog),
rather than a straight (solid) stream, into the vapor cloud to
accomplish any of the above).
Water spray is particularly effective on fires of flammable liquids and
volatile solids having flash points above 37.8oC (100oF).
Regardless of the above, water spray can be used successfully on
flammable liquids with low flash points. The effectiveness depends
particularly on the method of application. With proper nozzles, even
gasoline spill fires of some types have been extinguished when
coordinated hose lines were used to sweep the flames off the surface
of the liquid. Furthermore, water spray carefully applied has frequently
been used with success in extinguishing fires involving flammable
liquids with high flash points (or any viscous liquids) by causing frothing
to occur only on the surface, and this foaming action blankets and
extinguishes the fire.
