PHMSA (U.S. Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration)'s 2016 Emergency Response Guidebook provides first responders with a go-to resource to help deal with hazmat accidents during the critical first 30 minutes.
The ERG contains an indexed list of dangerous goods and the associated ID number, the general hazards they pose and recommended safety precautions. 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.
The 2016 version of the ERG includes general revisions, reorganized general information pages, and the addition of protective distance mapping. Updated every four years, the ERG is available free to public safety agencies in all states and territories through designated state coordinators’ offices. 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.
PHMSA(输送管道的美国能源部和危险材料安全管理局)的2016年应急响应指南提供第一反应用的走向资源,以帮助关键的前30分钟内处理危险品事故的发生。
该ERG有危险品的索引列表和相关的ID号,它们所构成的一般危险和建议的安全防范措施。例如,如果紧急救援人员在翻倒的拖拉机拖车显示DOT危险品标语牌到达现场,他们会用先导,以识别与标语牌相关的材料,并获得关于如何作出相应的反应的指导。
2016年版的ERG包括普通版本,重组的一般信息页面,并增设防护距离映射。每四年更新时,ERG是通过指定的国家协调员办公室免费提供给所有州和领地公共安全机构。 PHMSA已与国家医学图书馆合作,提供这个免费的应用程序,以及在其无线信息系统应急人员(WISER)应用程序版本ERG的。
