What is the focus of the orange pages in the ERG?

The orange pages in the Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) specifically provide guidance on hazardous materials. They include information such as the identification numbers of substances, their associated hazards, and recommended handling procedures in the event of an incident. This section is crucial for responders as it directs them to the appropriate emergency response measures based on the specific material involved. It helps users quickly find the necessary safety and response information for the substances they may encounter, ensuring a more effective and informed response to hazmat situations.

Other sections, like general information or health risks, serve different purposes and do not focus on providing detailed guidance for specific hazardous materials in the same way the orange pages do.
