Yellow Section
The Yellow section
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.
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.
