Which page of the ERG would you consult to find the proper shipping name of a hazardous material?

To determine the proper shipping name of a hazardous material using the Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG), the Blue pages are the correct reference. The Blue pages in the ERG specifically list the hazardous materials by their identifying number and include essential information on their proper shipping names. This allows responders to quickly access crucial details needed for responding safely to incidents involving hazardous materials.

The layout of the ERG is designed for efficiency; the other sections serve different purposes. The White pages provide an overview of the guide’s purpose and use, the Yellow pages list materials alphabetically by their proper shipping name, and the Orange pages provide specific guidance on emergency response measures, such as public safety measures and firefighting instructions for particular substances. Thus, the Blue pages are specifically oriented towards identifying materials through their identification numbers, making it the appropriate choice for finding the proper shipping name.
