What information can be found in the white pages of the Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG)?

The white pages of the Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) contain crucial, general information that assists responders in understanding the organization of the ERG and its intended use. This includes an overview of the ERG’s purpose, the importance of safety when responding to hazardous materials incidents, and the structure of the various sections contained in the guide. This foundational information is essential for any responder to effectively navigate the guide and utilize it as a reference during emergency situations.

While topics like guide information, proper shipping names, and step-by-step procedures are covered in other sections of the ERG, the primary purpose of the white pages is to provide responders with a comprehensive understanding of how to use the guide effectively and safely.
