The Table of Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances provides specific guidance for emergency responders on the distances that should be maintained from hazardous materials during an incident. It outlines recommended isolation zones and protective action distances based on the type and quantity of the substance involved, helping to ensure public safety and minimize exposure. This table aids in effective incident management and response planning in the event of chemical releases or spills.
The Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) provides guidance for first responders during hazardous materials incidents. The specific section that lists hazmat emergency procedures is typically found in the "Table of Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances" and the "Emergency Response Guide" section. This section includes instructions on how to handle different hazardous materials, including evacuation distances and protective measures. Always refer to the latest edition of the ERG for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
In the green section of the Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG), you will find information related to the initial isolation and protective action distances for specific hazardous materials. This section provides guidance on the recommended safety zones and evacuation distances for various incidents, helping responders determine how far to keep people away from the hazard. It is particularly useful for assessing risks during chemical spills or releases.

This section contains a table which lists, by ID number, TIH materials, including certain chemical warfare agents, and water-reactive materials which produce toxic gases upon contact with water. The table provides two different types of recommended safe distances which are "Initial isolation distances" and "Protective action distances."
