The second section of the Emergency Response Guide is known as the Yellow Section. The materials in this section are ordered by their 4-digit identification number or their United Nations number. These numbers correspond with the guides in the Orange Section.

In what section of the msds would you find the vapor and pressure density of a material
To identify the appropriate Emergency Response Guide (ERG) guide, you would refer to the "Table of Contents" or "Guide Number" section at the beginning of the ERG. This section typically lists hazardous materials by their UN number or name, allowing you to locate the relevant guide for specific incidents. Additionally, the "Index" section can be used for a more detailed search if the material is not easily found in the table.
For a spill of chlorine, you would look for isolation distances in the "Emergency Response Guidebook" (ERG) under the section specifically for hazardous materials, typically found in the yellow pages or the section for toxic substances. Chlorine is classified as a toxic inhalation hazard, so the relevant isolation distances will help determine the safe evacuation area and protective measures needed. Always refer to the specific ERG entry for chlorine to find the most accurate and detailed information.

Items in the ERG may be identified as a toxic inhalation hazard in the yellow ID code pages if there is a high inhalation risk. The best way to know this is to look up the explanations in the ERG preface.

To determine what section of the erg to turn to, it depends on the context of your inquiry. For training tips, refer to the "Training" section for techniques and workouts. If you're looking for maintenance or troubleshooting advice, check the "Maintenance" or "Troubleshooting" sections. For performance metrics, the "Performance" section will provide detailed insights into your progress.
The yellow section of the Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) contains safety recommendations and emergency response information. It provides guidance for first responders on how to handle incidents involving specific hazardous materials, including necessary protective measures and initial actions. This section is organized by the UN/NA identification numbers of the substances to facilitate quick reference during emergencies.
