Transport of dangerous goods — Emergency information systems — Part 3: Emergency response guides
Description
1.1 This part of BOS 518 covers standard procedures of initial response, in the form of Emergency Response Guides (ERGs), that are to be followed by a first responder upon arrival at the scene of an incident that involves the transport of materials that are classified as dangerous goods in accordance with BOS 540. The ERGs are intended to be used by the first responder or by the emergency services until more detailed information on the properties of each material and its treatment becomes available. An ERG is compiled for a group of materials that share the same emergency response. ERGs facilitate the early assessment of the potential hazards and indicate the response that should be taken to mitigate the incident.
