Emergency Response Guidebook

The Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) is a reference manual used by many first responders worldwide. It assists rescue professionals in recognizing accidents involving hazardous chemicals, identifying life-threatening substances, selecting protection equipment and evacuation strategies, mitigating damages on victims and the environment and, ultimately, saving lives.

The 2020 Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG2020) was prepared by the staff of Transport Canada, the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the Secretariat of Communications and Transport of Mexico. The ERG is published every four years in English, French and Spanish.

A Russian version of the guidebook has been completed in January 2023 in the framework of IUPAC project 2020-020-2-600, with the collaboration of OPCW, and is now available for free download here

Русская версия руководства была завершена в январе 2023 года в рамках проекта IUPAC 2020-020-2-600 при сотрудничестве с ОЗХО и теперь доступна для бесплатного скачивания по ссылке (PDF): https://iupac.org/erg2020-rus/
