SAFETY PRECAUTIONSRESIST RUSHING IN!
APPROACH CAUTIOUSLY FROM UPWIND, UPHILL AND/OR UPSTREAM:• Stay clear of Vapor, Fumes, Smoke and Spills.
• Keep vehicle at a safe distance from the scene.
SECURE THE SCENE:• Isolate the area and protect yourself and others.
IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS USING ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:• Placards• Container labels• Shipping papers• Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Chart• Safety Data Sheets (SDS)• Knowledge of persons on scene• Consult applicable guide page
ASSESS THE SITUATION:• Is there a fire, a spill or a leak?
• What are the weather conditions?
• What is the terrain like?
• Who/what is at risk: people, property or the environment?
• What actions should be taken – evacuation, shelter-in-place or dike?
• What resources (human and equipment) are required?
• What can be done immediately?
OBTAIN HELP:• Advise your headquarters to notify responsible agencies and call for assistance from
qualified personnel.
RESPOND:• Enter only when wearing appropriate protective gear.
• Rescue attempts and protecting property must be weighed against you becoming
part of the problem.
• Establish a command post and lines of communication.
• Continually reassess the situation and modify response accordingly.
• Consider safety of people in the immediate area first, including your own safety.
ABOVE ALL: Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of asmell – odorless gases or vapors may be harmful. Use CAUTION when handling empty
containers because they may still present hazards until they are cleaned and purged of
all residues.

INTRODUCTION TO THE TABLE OF MARKINGS, LABELS AND PLACARDSUSE THIS TABLE ONLY WHEN THE ID NUMBER OR PROPER SHIPPING NAME IS NOTAVAILABLE.
The next two pages display the placards used on transport vehicles carrying hazardous
materials/dangerous goods with the applicable reference GUIDE circled. Follow these steps:
1. Approach scene from upwind, uphill and/or upstream at a safe distance to safely
identify and/or read the placard or orange panel. Use binoculars if available.
2. Match the vehicle placard(s) with one of the placards displayed on the next
two pages.
3. Consult the circled guide number associated with the placard. Use that guideinformation for now. For example:• Use GUIDE 127 for a FLAMMABLE (Class 3) placard• Use GUIDE 153 for a CORROSIVE (Class 8) placard

4.

7.

• Use GUIDE 111 when the DANGER or DANGEROUS placard is displayed or thenature of the spilled, leaking or burning material is not known. Also use this GUIDE
when the presence of hazardous materials/dangerous goods is suspected but noplacards can be seen.
If multiple placards point to more than one guide, initially use the most conservative
guide (i.e., the guide requiring the greatest degree of protective actions).
Guides associated with the placards provide the most significant risk and/or
hazard information.
When specific information, such as ID number or proper shipping name, becomes
available, the more specific Guide recommended for that material must be
consulted.
A single asterisk (*) on orange placards represents an explosive's compatibility
group letter. The asterisk must be replaced with the appropriate compatibility
group letter. Refer to the Glossary (page 375).
Double asterisks (**) on orange placards represent the division of the explosive.
The double asterisks must be replaced with the appropriate division number.

The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) is aninternational guideline published by the United Nations. The GHS aims to harmonize theclassification and labeling systems for all sectors involved in the life cycle of a chemical(production, storage, transport, workplace use, consumer use and presence in theenvironment).
The GHS has nine symbols used to convey specific physical, health and environmental
hazard information. These symbols are part of a pictogram that is diamond shaped andincludes the GHS symbol in black on a white background with a red frame. The pictogram ispart of the GHS label, which also includes the following information:
•
•
•
•
•

Signal word
Hazard statement
Precautionary statements
Product identifier
Supplier identification

GHS pictograms are similar in shape to transport labels; however, transport labels havebackgrounds of different colors.
The elements of the GHS that address signal words and hazard statements are notexpected to be adopted in the transport sector. For substances and mixtures covered by
the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Model Regulations, thetransport labels for physical hazards will have precedence. In transport, a GHS pictogram
for the same (or lesser) hazard as the one reflected by the transport label or placard should
not be present, but it could exist on the package.
Examples of GHS labeling:

Outer Packaging: Box withflammable liquid transport label

Page 16

Inner Packaging: Plastic
bottle with GHS hazard
warning label

Single Packaging: 200 L(55 US gallons) drum witha flammable liquid transportlabel combined with GHS
hazard warning label

In some cases, such as on drums or international bulk containers (IBCs), which must
address information for all sectors, the GHS label may be found in addition to the required
transport labels and placards. Both types of labels (GHS and transport) will differ in a waythat will make them easy to identify during an emergency.

HAZARD IDENTIFICATION NUMBERSDISPLAYED ON SOME INTERMODAL CONTAINERS
Hazard identification numbers, utilized under European and some South American regulations,
may be found in the top half of an orange panel on some intermodal bulk containers.
The 4-digit ID number is in the bottom half of the orange panel.

33
1203
The hazard identification number in the top half of the orange panel consists of two or
three digits. In general, the digits indicate the following hazards:
2 - Emission of gas due to pressure or chemical reaction
3 - Flammability of liquids (vapors) and gases or self-heating liquid
4 - Flammability of solids or self-heating solid
5 - Oxidizing (fire-intensifying) effect
6 - Toxicity or risk of infection
7 - Radioactivity
8 - Corrosivity
9 - Risk of spontaneous violent reaction
NOTE: The risk of spontaneous violent reaction within the meaning of digit 9 includes thepossibility, due to the nature of a substance, of a risk of explosion, disintegrationand polymerization reaction followed by the release of considerable heat or
flammable and/or toxic gases.
•

Doubling of a digit indicates an intensification of that particular hazard (i.e., 33,
66, 88).

•Where the hazard associated with a substance can be adequately indicated by asingle digit, the digit is followed by a zero (i.e., 30, 40, 50).

•

A hazard identification number prefixed by the letter “X” indicates that thesubstance will react dangerously with water (i.e., X88).

PIPELINE TRANSPORTATIONIn North America, hazardous materials/dangerous goods are commonly transported throughmillions of miles of pipelines and related structures. Products transported include natural gas,
natural gas liquids, crude oil, gasoline, diesel fuel, anhydrous ammonia, carbon dioxide, jetfuel, and other commodities. Although most pipelines are buried, often there are abovegroundstructures and markers indicating the presence of pipelines. First responders should beaware of the pipelines in their jurisdictions, the products they transport, and the operators
responsible for those pipelines. Proactive relationships can be beneficial in the safe andeffective management of pipeline emergencies.
Types of Pipelines
Natural Gas Pipelines
Natural Gas Transmission Pipelines
Large-diameter, steel pipelines transport flammable natural gas (toxic and non-toxic) atvery high pressures ranging from 200 to 1,500 psi*. Natural gas in transmission pipelines isodorless — generally not odorized with mercaptan (the “rotten egg” smell); however, natural
gas containing hydrogen sulfide (H2S) will have a distinct “rotten egg” odor.
Natural Gas Distribution Pipelines
Natural gas is delivered directly to customers via distribution pipelines. These pipelines are
typically smaller-diameter, lower-pressure pipelines constructed of steel, plastic, or castiron. Natural gas in distribution pipelines is odorized with mercaptan (the “rotten egg” smell).
Natural Gas-Gathering and Natural Gas Well Production Pipelines
Natural gas-gathering/well production pipelines collect “raw” natural gas from wellheads andtransport the product to gas-processing and/or gas-treating plants. These gathering pipelines
carry natural gas mixed with some quantity of natural gas liquids, water, and, in some areas,
contaminants such as toxic hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Natural gas in these pipelines is not
odorized with mercaptan (the “rotten egg” smell); however, natural gas that contains hydrogensulfide (H2S) will have a distinct “rotten egg” odor.
Hazardous Liquid and Highly Volatile Liquid Pipelines
Hazardous Liquid Pipelines
Crude oil, refined petroleum products (e.g. gasoline, kerosene, jet fuel or diesel) and hazardous
liquids (e.g. anhydrous ammonia or ethanol) are often transported by pipelines.
Many liquid petroleum pipelines transport different types of liquid petroleum in the same
pipeline. To do so, the pipeline operator sends different products in “batches.” For example, anoperator could send gasoline for several hours, and then switch to jet fuels, before switching
to diesel fuel.
* Data from http://naturalgas.org/naturalgas/transport/

Page 22

Highly Volatile Liquid (HVL) Pipelines
HVL pipelines transport hazardous liquids which will form a vapor cloud when released tothe atmosphere and which have a vapor pressure exceeding 276 KPa (40 psia) at 37.8°C(100°F). An example of an HVL is liquid propane.
Pipeline Markers
Since pipelines are usually buried underground, pipeline markers are used to indicate theirpresence in an area along the pipeline route. Of the three types of pipelines typically buried
underground — distribution, gathering, and transmission — only transmission pipelines aremarked with the following above-ground markers used to indicate their route.

Markers warn that a transmission pipeline is located in the area, identify the producttransported in the line, and provide the name and telephone number of the pipeline operator
to call. Markers and warning signs are located at frequent intervals along natural gas andliquid transmission pipeline rights-of-way, and are located at prominent points such as where
pipelines intersect streets, highways, railways, or waterways.
Pipeline markers only indicate the presence of a pipeline—they do not indicate the exact
location of the pipeline. Pipeline locations within a right-of-way may vary along its length andthere may be multiple pipelines located in the same right-of-way.
NOTE:•
Markers for pipelines transporting materials containing dangerous levels of hydrogensulfide (H2S) may have markers that say: “Sour” or “Poison.”•Natural gas distribution pipelines are not marked with above-ground signs.
•
Gathering/production pipelines are often not marked with above-ground signs.

Indications of Pipeline Leaks and Ruptures
Pipeline releases can range from relatively minor leaks to catastrophic ruptures. It is importantto remember that gases and liquids behave differently once they are released from a pipeline.
Generally, the following could be indications of a pipeline leak or rupture:•
Hissing, roaring, or explosive sound•Flames appearing from the ground or water (perhaps very large flames)•
Vapor cloud/fog/mist•
Dirt/debris/water blowing out of the ground•
Liquids bubbling up from the ground or bubbling in water•Distinctive, unusually strong odor of rotten eggs, mercaptan (an odorant in somenatural gas pipelines), skunk, or petroleum•
Discolored/dead vegetation or discolored snow above a pipeline right-of-way•
Oil slick or sheen on flowing/standing water•
An area of frozen ground in the summer•
An unusual area of melted snow in the winterPage 24

General Considerations for Responding to a Pipeline Emergency
•

•

•

•

Safety First! Your safety and the safety of the community you protect is top priority.
Remember to approach a pipeline incident from upwind, uphill, and upstream while using
air monitoring equipment to detect for the presence of explosive and/or toxic levels of
hazardous materials/dangerous goods.
– Always wear proper personal protective equipment. Be prepared for a flash fire. Useshielding to protect first responders in the event of an explosion. Use respiratory
protection.
– Never operate pipeline valves (except in coordination with the pipeline operator);
this could make the incident worse and put you and others in danger.
– Never attempt to extinguish a pipeline fire before supply is shut off; this could resultin the accumulation of a large flammable/explosive vapor cloud or liquid pool that
could make the incident worse and put you and others in danger.
– Do not walk or drive into a vapor cloud in an attempt to identify the product(s)involved.
– Do not park over manholes or storm drains.
– Do not approach the scene with vehicles or mechanical equipment until the isolation
zones have been established (vehicles are a potential ignition source).
Secure the site and determine a plan to evacuate or shelter-in-place. Work with other
responders to deny entry to an area.
Identify the product and the operator. If safe to do so, you may be able to identify the
product based on its characteristics or other external clues. Look for pipeline markers
indicating the product, operator of the pipeline, and their emergency contact information.
Pipelines transport many different types of products, including gases, liquids, and highly
volatile liquids that are in a liquid state inside the pipeline but in a gaseous state if
released from the pipeline. The vapor density of gases determines if they rise or sink inair. Viscosity and specific gravity also are important characteristics of hazardous liquids
to consider. Identification of the product also will help you determine the appropriate
distance for isolation of the affected area.
Notify the pipeline operator using the emergency contact information on the pipelinemarker or other contact information you may have received from the pipeline operator.
The pipeline operator will be a resource to you in the response.
Establish a command post. Implement the Incident Command Structure, as needed,and be prepared to implement a Unified Command as additional stakeholders andresources arrive.

Page 25

Other Important Considerations•
If no flames are present, do not introduce ignition sources such as open flames, runningvehicles, or electrical equipment (cell phones, pagers, two-way radios, lights, garage
door openers, fans, door bells, etc.).
•
Abandon any equipment used in or near the area of the pipeline release.
•
If there is no risk to your safety or the safety of others, move far enough away from any
noise coming from the pipeline to allow for normal conversation.
•
Pipelines often are close to other public utilities, railroads, and highways; these can be
impacted by pipeline releases or may be potential ignition sources.
•
Natural gas can migrate underground from the source of a release to other areas via thepath of least resistance (including through sewers, water lines, and geologic formations).
Considerations for Establishing Protective Action Distances•Type of product– If you know the material involved, identify the three-digit guide number by looking up
the name in the alphabetical list (blue-bordered pages), then using the three-digit
guide number, consult the recommendations in the assigned guide.
•
Pressure and diameter of pipe (the pipeline operator can tell you this if you don’t alreadyknow it)•Timing of valve closure by the pipeline operator (quickly for automated valves; longer
for manually operated valves)•
Dissipation time of the product in the pipeline once valves are closed•
Ability to conduct atmospheric monitoring and/or air sampling•
Weather (wind direction, etc.)•
Local variables such as topography, population density, demographics, and fire
suppression methods available•
Nearby building construction material/density•
Natural and man-made barriers (such as highways, railroads, rivers, etc.)

INTRODUCTION TO YELLOW PAGESFor entries highlighted in green follow these steps:• IF THERE IS NO FIRE:-

Go directly to Table 1 (green-bordered pages)
Look up the ID number and name of material
Identify initial isolation and protective action distances
Also consult the appropriate Orange Guide• IF A FIRE IS INVOLVED:- Use the appropriate Orange Guide for EVACUATION distances- Also protect in downwind direction according to Table 1 for residualmaterial release
Note 1: If the name in Table 1 is shown with (when spilled in water), these materials
produce large amounts of Toxic Inhalation Hazard (TIH) (PIH in the US) gases
when spilled in water. Some Water Reactive materials are also TIH materials
themselves (e.g., UN1746 (Bromine trifluoride), UN1836 (Thionyl chloride)). In
these instances, two entries are provided in Table 1 for land-based and waterbased spills. If a water-reactive material only has one entry in Table 1 for (whenspilled in water) and the product is NOT spilled in water, Table 1 and Table 2 do
not apply. You will find safe distances in the appropriate orange-bordered guide.
Note 2: Explosives are not individually listed by their ID number because in an emergency
situation, the response will be based only on the division of the explosive, not on
the individual explosive.
For divisions 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.5, refer to GUIDE 112.
For divisions 1.4 and 1.6, refer to GUIDE 114.
Note 3: Chemical warfare agents do not have an assigned ID number because they are
not commercially transported. In an emergency situation, the assigned orange
guide will provide guidance for the initial response. Also consult “Criminal or
Terrorist Use of Chemical, Biological and Radiological Agents”, pp. 368 to 372.

Page 91

INTRODUCTION TO BLUE PAGESFor entries highlighted in green follow these steps:• IF THERE IS NO FIRE:-

Go directly to Table 1 (green-bordered pages)
Look up the ID number and name of material
Identify initial isolation and protective action distances
Also consult the appropriate Orange Guide• IF A FIRE IS INVOLVED:- Use the appropriate Orange Guide for EVACUATION distances- Also protect in downwind direction according to Table 1 for residualmaterial release
Note 1: If the name in Table 1 is shown with (when spilled in water), these materials produce
large amounts of Toxic Inhalation Hazard (TIH) (PIH in the US) gases when spilled inwater. Some Water Reactive materials are also TIH materials themselves (e.g., UN1746(Bromine trifluoride), UN1836 (Thionyl chloride)). In these instances, two entries areprovided in Table 1 for land-based and water-based spills. If a water-reactive material
only has one entry in Table 1 for (when spilled in water) and the product is NOT
spilled in water, Table 1 and Table 2 do not apply. You will find safe distances in theappropriate orange-bordered guide.
Note 2: Explosives are not individually listed by their name because in an emergency situation,
the response will be based only on the division of the explosive, not on the individual
explosive.
For divisions 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.5, refer to GUIDE 112.
For divisions 1.4 and 1.6, refer to GUIDE 114.
Note 3: Chemical warfare agents do not have an assigned ID number because they are notcommercially transported. In an emergency situation, the assigned orange guide will
provide guidance for the initial response. Also consult “Criminal or Terrorist Use ofChemical, Biological and Radiological Agents”, pp. 368 to 372.

PUBLIC SAFETY• This section is divided into three subsections:› General Information: describes initial precautionary measures to be takenby those first on the scene.
› PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: provides general guidance on personal
protective equipment requirements including respiratory protection. The
protective clothing information is general and correct selection is situation
dependent, after considering the physical and chemical properties of thematerial, weather conditions, spill versus fire, topography, etc.
› EVACUATION: suggests protective distances for immediate precautionary
measures defined for small and large spills, including suggested guidancefor conditions where fire is present or likely (potential fragmentation hazard).
− The term “isolate” indicates a zone of no entry that applies to the public
and first responders who are not equipped, trained, and prepared tomitigate the incident.
− The term “evacuate” indicates people should be removed from inside
this zone, if it can be done safely. If removal is too risky, sheltering-inplace can also be considered in this zone. Evacuation aims to protect
as many people as possible, and applies mainly to the public.
• Materials highlighted in green in the yellow-bordered and blue-bordered pages

GUIDE Radioactive Materials(Fissile/Low to High Level Radiation)
165
POTENTIAL HAZARDSHEALTH• Radiation presents minimal risk to transport workers, emergency response personnel and the public duringtransportation accidents. Packaging durability increases as potential radiation and criticality hazards of thecontent increase.
• Undamaged packages are safe. Contents of damaged packages may cause higher external radiation exposure,or both external and internal radiation exposure if contents are released.
• Type AF or IF packages, identified by package markings, do not contain life-threatening amounts of material.
External radiation levels are low and packages are designed, evaluated and tested to control releases and toprevent a fission chain reaction under severe transport conditions.
• Type B(U)F, B(M)F and CF packages (identified by markings on packages or shipping papers) contain potentiallylife-endangering amounts. Because of design, evaluation and testing of packages, fission chain reactions areprevented and releases are not expected to be life-endangering for all accidents except those of utmost severity.
• The rarely occurring "Special Arrangement" shipments may be of Type AF, BF or CF packages. Package type will
be marked on packages, and shipment details will be on shipping papers.
• The transport index (TI) shown on labels or a shipping paper might not indicate the radiation level at one meterfrom a single, isolated, undamaged package; instead, it might relate to controls needed during transport becauseof the fissile properties of the materials. Alternatively, the fissile nature of the contents may be indicated by acriticality safety index (CSI) on a special FISSILE label or on the shipping paper.
• Some radioactive materials cannot be detected by commonly available instruments.
• Water from cargo fire control is not expected to cause pollution.

FIRE OR EXPLOSION• These materials are seldom flammable. Packages are designed to withstand fires without damage to contents.
• Radioactivity does not change flammability or other properties of materials.
• Type AF, IF, B(U)F, B(M)F and CF packages are designed and evaluated to withstand total engulfment in flamesat temperatures of 800°C (1475°F) for a period of 30 minutes.

PUBLIC SAFETY• CALL 911. Then call emergency response telephone number on shipping paper. If shipping paper notavailable or no answer, refer to appropriate telephone number listed on the inside back cover.
• Priorities for rescue, life-saving, first aid, fire control and other hazards are higher than the priority
for measuring radiation levels. • Radiation Authority must be notified of accident conditions. Radiation
Authority is usually responsible for decisions about radiological consequences and closure of emergencies.
• Stay upwind, uphill and/or upstream. • Keep unauthorized personnel away.
• Detain or isolate uninjured persons or equipment suspected to be contaminated; delay decontamination andcleanup until instructions are received from Radiation Authority.

PROTECTIVE CLOTHING• Positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and structural firefighters’ protective clothing will
provide adequate protection against internal radiation exposure, but not external radiation exposure.

EVACUATION

Immediate precautionary measure• Isolate spill or leak area for at least 25 meters (75 feet) in all directions.
Large Spill• Consider initial downwind evacuation for at least 100 meters (330 feet).
Fire• When a large quantity of this material is involved in a major fire, consider an initial evacuation distance of
300 meters (1000 feet) in all directions.

•
•
•

Some gases will be ignited by heat, sparks or flames.
Substance does not burn but will support combustion.
Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back.
Cylinders exposed to fire may vent and release flammable gas through pressure relief devices.
Containers may explode when exposed to prolonged direct flame impingement.

HEALTH••••

Vapors may cause dizziness or asphyxiation without warning.
Some may be irritating if inhaled at high concentrations.
Contact with gas may cause burns and injury.
Fire may produce irritating and/or toxic gases.

PUBLIC SAFETY• CALL 911. Then call emergency response telephone number on shipping paper. If shipping paper
not available or no answer, refer to appropriate telephone number listed on the inside back cover.
• Keep unauthorized personnel away.
• Stay upwind, uphill and/or upstream.
• Many gases are heavier than air and will spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas(sewers, basements, tanks, etc.).
• Ventilate closed spaces before entering, but only if properly trained and equipped.

PROTECTIVE CLOTHING• Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
• Structural firefighters' protective clothing provides thermal protection but only limited chemical protection.

EVACUATION

Immediate precautionary measure• Isolate spill or leak area for at least 100 meters (330 feet) in all directions.
Large Spill• Consider initial downwind evacuation for at least 800 meters (1/2 mile).
Fire• If several small packages (inside a railcar or trailer) are involved in a fire, ISOLATE for 1600 meters(1 mile) in all directions; also, consider initial evacuation for 1600 meters (1 mile) in all directions.

In Canada, an Emergency Response Assistance Plan (ERAP) may be required for this product.
Please consult the shipping paper and/or the ERAP Program Section (page 390).

INTRODUCTION TO GREEN TABLESTABLE 1 - INITIAL ISOLATION AND PROTECTIVE ACTION DISTANCESThis table suggests distances useful to protect people from vapors/gases resulting fromspills involving:• materials that are considered toxic by inhalation (TIH) (PIH in the US)• materials that produce toxic gases upon contact with water• chemical warfare agentsThis table provides first responders with initial guidance until technically qualified emergency
response personnel are available. For each material, first responders will find distances forthe following zones:• The Initial Isolation Zone defines an area surrounding the incident in whichpeople may be exposed to dangerous (upwind) and life-threatening (downwind)concentrations of material.
• The Protective Action Zone defines an area downwind from the incident in whichpeople may become incapacitated and unable to take protective action and/or incur
serious or irreversible health effects. Table 1 provides specific guidance for small andlarge spills occurring day or night.
Adjusting distances for a specific incident involves many interdependent variables. These
adjustments should only be made by technically qualified personnel. For this reason, no
precise guidance can be provided in this document to aid in adjusting the table distances;
however, general guidance follows.
Factors that May Change the Protective Action DistancesFire
In the orange-bordered pages, under EVACUATION – Fire, the evacuation distance required
to protect against fragmentation hazard of a large container is clearly indicated. If involved ina fire, the toxic hazard may be less dangerous than the fire or explosion hazard.
In these cases, the fire hazard distance should be used as an isolation distance and Table
1 should be used to protect downwind for residual material release.
Worst-case scenario: terrorism, sabotage or catastrophic accident
Initial isolation and protective action distances are derived from historical data on
transportation incidents and the use of statistical models. For worst-case scenarios involving
the instantaneous release of the entire contents of a package (e.g., as a result of terrorism,
sabotage or catastrophic accident), the distances may increase substantially.
For such events, doubling the initial isolation and protective action distances is appropriate
in absence of other information.
When more than one large package is leaking
If more than one rail car, tank truck, tank or large cylinder, containing TIH materials is leaking,large spill distances may need to be increased.
Page 286

Other factors that can increase the protective action distance:• If a material has a protective action distance of 11.0+ km (7.0+ miles), the actual
distance can be larger in certain atmospheric conditions.
•

If the material’s vapor plume is channeled in a valley or between many tallbuildings, protective action distances may be larger than shown due to less mixingof the plume with the atmosphere.

•

If there is a daytime spill in a region with known strong temperature inversions
or snow cover, or it occurs near sunset, this may require an increase of theprotective action distance because airborne contaminants mix and disperse more
slowly and may travel much farther downwind.
›•In such cases, the nighttime protective action distances may be more
appropriate.

If the temperature of the liquid spill or the outdoor temperature exceeds 30°C
(86°F), the protective action distance may be larger.

Water-reactive materials
Materials that react with water to produce large amounts of toxic gases are included in Table
1. Some of these materials have 2 entries in Table 1. They are identified by (when spilledon land) since they are TIH products and (when spilled in water) because they produce
additional toxic gases when spilled in water.
Choose the larger protective action distance if:• it is not clear whether the spill is on land or in water•

the spill occurs both on land and in water

TABLE 2 - WATER-REACTIVE MATERIALS WHICH PRODUCE TOXIC GASESThis table lists materials that produce large amounts of Toxic Inhalation Hazard gases (TIH)
when spilled in water as well as the TIH gases that are produced.
NOTE: The produced TIH gases indicated in Table 2 are for information purposes only. In Table
1, the initial isolation and protective action distances have already taken into consideration
the produced TIH gas.
When a water-reactive TIH-producing material is spilled into a river or stream, the source ofthe toxic gas may flow downstream for a great distance.
TABLE 3 - INITIAL ISOLATION AND PROTECTIVE ACTION DISTANCES FOR LARGESPILLS FOR DIFFERENT QUANTITIES OF SIX COMMON TIH (PIH IN THE US) GASESThis table lists materials that may be more commonly encountered. These materials are:• UN1005 - Ammonia, anhydrous•

PROTECTIVE ACTIONS
Protective actions are the steps taken to preserve the health and safety of emergency
responders and the public during an incident involving releases of hazardous materials/
dangerous goods.
Table 1 - Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances (green-bordered pages) predicts
the size of the area that could be affected by a cloud of toxic gas. People in this area shouldbe evacuated and/or sheltered-in-place inside buildings.
Isolate hazard area and deny entry means to keep everybody away from the area if they are
not directly involved in emergency response operations. Unprotected emergency responders
should not be allowed to enter the isolation zone.
This "isolation" task is done to establish control over the area of operations. This is the firststep for any protective actions that may follow.
Evacuate means to move all people from a threatened area to a safer place. To perform an
evacuation, there must be enough time for people to be warned, get ready, and leave an
area. If there is enough time, evacuation is the best protective action.
Begin evacuating people nearby and those who are outdoors in direct view of the scene.
When additional help arrives, expand the area to be evacuated downwind and crosswind toat least the extent recommended in this guidebook.
Even after people move to the distances recommended, they may not be completely safe
from harm. They should not be permitted to gather at such distances. Send evacuees to adefinite place, by a specific route, far enough away so they will not have to be moved again
if the wind shifts.
Shelter-in-place means people should seek shelter inside a building and remain inside
until the danger passes. It is vital for first responders to maintain communications withsheltered-in-place people so that they are advised about changing conditions.
Sheltering-in-place is used either when:•evacuating the public would cause greater risk than staying where they are•an evacuation cannot be performed

Direct the people inside to:•close all doors and windows•

shut off all ventilating, heating and cooling systems•

stay far from windows to avoid shattered glass and projectile metal fragments inthe event of a fire and/or explosion•

tune in to local radio or TV stations, and stay inside until told it is safe to leave by
first responders

Shelter-in-place may not be the best option if:•

the vapors are flammable
Page 289

•

it will take a long time for the gas to clear the area•buildings cannot be closed tightly

Vehicles can offer some protection for a short period if the windows are closed and theventilation systems are shut off. Vehicles are not as effective as buildings for in-place protection.
NOTE: Every hazardous materials/dangerous goods incident is different. Each will have special
problems and concerns. Actions to protect the public must be carefully selected. These pages
can help with initial decisions on how to protect the public. Officials must continue to gather
information and monitor the situation until the threat is removed.

Page 290

PROTECTIVE ACTION DECISION FACTORS TO CONSIDER
The choice of protective actions for a given situation depends on a number of factors. For
some cases, evacuation may be the best option; in others, sheltering-in-place may be thebest course. Sometimes, these two actions may be used in combination. In any emergency,
officials need to quickly give the public instructions. The public will need continuing informationand instructions while being evacuated or sheltered-in-place.
Proper evaluation of the factors listed below will determine the effectiveness of evacuation orin-place protection (shelter-in-place). The importance of these factors can vary with emergency
conditions. In specific emergencies, other factors may need to be identified and considered aswell. This list indicates what kind of information may be needed to make the initial decision.
The hazardous materials/dangerous goods:• degree of health hazard•

chemical and physical properties•

amount involved•

containment/control of release•

rate of vapor movement

The population threatened:• location•

number of people•

time available to evacuate or shelter-in-place•

ability to control evacuation or shelter-in-place•building types and availability•

special institutions or populations, e.g., nursing homes, hospitals, prisons

The weather conditions:• effect on vapor and cloud movement•

potential for change•

effect on evacuation or shelter-in-place

BACKGROUND ON TABLE 1 – INITIAL ISOLATION
AND PROTECTIVE ACTION DISTANCES
Initial isolation and protective action distances in this guidebook were determined for small
and large spills occurring during day or night. The overall analysis, statistical in nature, wasconducted using:• state-of-the-art emission rate and dispersion models•

statistical release data from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Hazardous
Materials Information System (HMIS) database•meteorological observations from more than 120 locations in the United States,
Canada, and Mexico•

the most current toxicological exposure guidelines

For each chemical, thousands of hypothetical releases were modeled to account for the statisticalvariance in both release amount and atmospheric conditions. Based on this statistical sample,
they selected the 90th percentile protective action distance for each chemical and category toappear in the table. A brief description of the analysis is provided below.
A detailed report outlining the methodology and data used to generate the initial isolationand protective action distances may be obtained from the U.S. DOT, Pipeline and Hazardous
Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA).
DESCRIPTION OF THE ANALYSIS
Release amounts and emission rates into the atmosphere were statistically modeled
based on:•data from the U.S. DOT HMIS database•

container types and sizes authorized for transport as specified in 49 CFR §172.101
and Part 173•

physical properties of the individual materials•

atmospheric data from a historical database

For liquefied gases, which can flash to form both a vapor/aerosol mixture and an evaporating
pool, the emission model calculated one or both of:•

the release of vapor due to evaporation of pools on the ground•direct release of vapors from the container

The emission model also calculated the emission of toxic vapor by-products generated fromspilling water-reactive materials in water.
Small spills involve 208 liters (55 US gallons) or less.
Large spills involve greater quantities.

Page 292

The exceptions are the entries at the beginning of Table 1 marked (when used as a weapon).
The volumes used for these calculations varies, but in most cases:•

Small spills include releases up to 2 kg (4.4 lbs.).

•

Large spills include releases up to 25 kg (55 lbs.).

Downwind dispersion of the vapor was estimated for each case modeled. Using a database
containing hourly meteorological data from 120 American, Canadian, and Mexican cities,
the atmospheric parameters affecting the dispersion and the emission rate were selected.
The dispersion calculation accounted for both the:•time-dependent emission rate from the source•

density of the vapor plume (i.e., heavy gas effects)

Since atmospheric mixing is less effective at dispersing vapor plumes during nighttime, day
and night were separated in the analysis.
In the table:•

day refers to time periods after sunrise and before sunset•

night includes all hours between sunset and sunrise

Toxicological short-term exposure guidelines for the materials were applied to determine
the downwind distance to which people may:•

become incapacitated and unable to take protective action•

incur serious health effects after a single, or rare, exposure

When available, toxicological exposure guidelines were chosen from AEGL-2 or ERPG-2
emergency response guidelines. AEGL-2 values were the first choice.
For materials without AEGL-2 or ERPG-2 values, emergency response guidelines were
estimated based on lethal concentration limits derived from animal-based-studies. Thisapproach was recommended by an independent panel of toxicological experts from industry
and academia.

HOW TO USE TABLE 1 – INITIAL ISOLATION AND
PROTECTIVE ACTION DISTANCES(1) The responder should already have:•identified the material by its ID number and name (if you cannot find an ID number,use the Name of Material index in the blue-bordered pages to find that number);•confirmed that the material is highlighted in green in the yellow or blue-borderedpages. If not, Table 1 doesn’t apply;•
found the three-digit guide for the material, in order to consult emergency actions
it recommends along with this table; and•noted the wind direction(2) Look in Table 1 (green-bordered pages) for the ID number and name of the material
involved. Some ID numbers have more than one shipping name listed. Look for the
specific name of the material. If you do not know the shipping name and Table 1 lists
more than one name for the same ID number, use the entry with the largest distances.
(3) Determine if the incident involves a SMALL or LARGE spill and if it is DAY or NIGHT. A
SMALL SPILL consists of a release of 208 liters (55 US gallons) or less. This generally
corresponds to a spill from a single small package (for example, a drum), a small cylinder,
or a small leak from a large package. A LARGE SPILL consists of a release of more than
208 liters (55 US gallons). This usually involves a spill from a large package, or multiple
spills from many small packages. DAY is any time after sunrise and before sunset. NIGHT
is any time between sunset and sunrise.
(4) Look up the INITIAL ISOLATION DISTANCE.
This distance defines the radius of a zone (initialisolation zone) surrounding the spill in ALL
DIRECTIONS. In this zone, protective clothing
and respiratory protection is required. Evacuate
the general public in a direction perpendicular
to wind direction (crosswind) and away fromthe spill.

Distance(5) Look up the PROTECTIVE ACTION DISTANCE.
For a given material, spill size, and whether day or night, Table 1 gives the downwind
distance—in kilometers and miles—from the spill or leak source, for which you should
consider protective actions. For practical purposes, the protective action zone (i.e., thearea in which people are at risk of harmful exposure) is a square. Its length and width
are the same as the downwind distance shown in Table 1. Protective actions are thePage 294

steps you take to preserve the health and safety of emergency responders and the
public. People in this area should be evacuated and/or sheltered-in-place. Consult
pages 289-291.
(6) Initiate protective actions beginning with those closest to the spill site and working away
in a downwind direction. When a water-reactive TIH (PIH in the US) producing materialis spilled into a river or stream, the source of the toxic gas may move with the current
or stretch from the spill point downstream for a large distance.
In the figure below, the spill is located at the center of the small black circle. The larger
circle represents the initial isolation zone around the spill. The square (the protective
action zone) is the area in which you should take protective actions.

Table 2 lists materials that produce large amounts of Toxic Inhalation Hazard (TIH) (PIH in
the US) gases when spilled in water, and identifies the TIH gases produced.
The materials are listed by order of ID number.
These Water-Reactive materials are easily identified in Table 1 as their name is immediately
followed by (when spilled in water).
Note 1: The TIH gases indicated in Table 2 are for information purposes only. In Table
1, the initial isolation and protective action distances have already taken into
consideration the TIH gases produced.
For example: Table 2 indicates that UN1689 sodium cyanide, when spilledin water, will generate hydrogen cyanide gas (HCN). In Table 1, you mustrefer to the distances for sodium cyanide and not the distances for hydrogencyanide gas.
Note 2: Some Water-Reactive materials are also TIH materials themselves (e.g., UN1746(Bromine trifluoride), UN1836 (Thionyl chloride)). In these instances, two entries
are provided in Table 1 for land-based and water-based spills. If a water-reactive
material only has one entry in Table 1 for (when spilled in water), and the
product is NOT spilled in water, Tables 1 and 2 do NOT apply. Refer only to theappropriate orange-bordered guide.
Note 3: Materials classified as a Division 4.3 are substances that, on contact with water,
are liable to become spontaneously FLAMMABLE or give off FLAMMABLE orsometimes TOXIC gases in dangerous quantities. For the purpose of this table,
water-reactive materials are materials that generate substantial quantities of
TOXIC gases rapidly after a spill into water; therefore, a material classified as a
Division 4.3 will not always be included in Table 2.

TABLE 3 - INITIAL ISOLATION AND PROTECTIVE ACTION DISTANCES FOR LARGE SPILLS FOR DIFFERENT QUANTITIESOF SIX COMMON TIH (PIH in the US) GASESERG2020 USER’S GUIDEFor the purposes of this guidebook, the terms hazardous materials/dangerous goods aresynonymous.
The 2020 Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG2020) was developed jointly by
Transport Canada (TC), the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), and the Secretariatof Communications and Transport of Mexico (SCT), with help from CIQUIME (Centro deInformación Química para Emergencias) of Argentina.
This guidebook is for firefighters, police and other emergency services personnel who may
be first to arrive at the scene of a transportation incident involving dangerous goods.
It is primarily a guide to help first responders to quickly:• identify the specific or generic hazards of material(s) involved in a transportation
incident• protect themselves and the general public during the initial response phaseof the incident
For the purposes of this guidebook, “initial response phase” is the period after first responders
arrive at the scene of an incident. During this phase, responders:• confirm the presence and/or identification of dangerous goods• start taking protective action and securing the area
• request the help of qualified personnel
This guide is designed for use at a dangerous goods incident on a highway or railroad. It may
have limited value at fixed-facility locations, or onboard aircrafts or vessels.
This guide does not:• provide information on the physical or chemical properties of dangerous goods• replace emergency response training, knowledge, or sound judgment• address all possible circumstances that may be associated with a dangerous goods
incident
ERG2020 incorporates dangerous goods lists from the most recent United Nations
Recommendations, and from other international and national regulations.
Explosives are not listed individually (by either proper shipping name or ID number) but,under the general heading “Explosives”, they do appear:• on the first page of the ID Number index (yellow-bordered pages)• alphabetically in the Name of Material index (blue-bordered pages)
Chemical warfare agents do not have an assigned ID number because they are notcommercially transported. In an emergency situation, the assigned guide (orange-borderedpages) will provide guidance for the initial response.

Page 354

The letter (P) following the guide number in the yellow and blue bordered pages
identifies materials that present a polymerization hazard under certain conditions.
For example: UN1092 - Acrolein, stabilized GUIDE 131P.
First responders at the scene of a dangerous goods incident should not solely rely on thisguidebook. Always seek specific information about any material in question as soon as
possible. To do so:• Contact the appropriate emergency response agency listed on the inside back cover.
• Call the emergency response telephone number on the shipping paper.
• Consult information on or accompanying the shipping paper.
BEFORE AN EMERGENCY – BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THIS GUIDEBOOK! In the
U.S., according to the requirements of the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety
and Health Administration (OSHA, 29 CFR 1910.120) and regulations issued by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA, 40 CFR Part 311), first responders must be trainedin how to use this guidebook.

3- Orange-bordered pages: All safety recommendations are provided here. It is made up
of 62 individual guides in a 2-page format. Each guide recommends safety and emergency
response procedures to protect yourself and the public. The left-hand page gives safetyrelated information and evacuation distances. The right-hand page gives emergency response
guidance for fires, spills or leaks, and first aid. Each guide applies to a group of materials
with similar chemical and toxicological characteristics. The guide title identifies the general
hazards of the dangerous goods.
For example: GUIDE 124 - Gases - Toxic and/or Corrosive - Oxidizing.

Page 355

Each guide is divided into 3 main sections:
POTENTIAL HAZARDS:• Displays the hazards in terms of FIRE OR EXPLOSION and HEALTH effects upon
exposure.
• Primary potential hazard is listed first.
• Consult this section first to help you make decisions about how to protect the
emergency response team and surrounding population.
PUBLIC SAFETY:• Provides general information on initial precautionary measures to be taken by those
first on scene.
• Provides general guidance on PROTECTIVE CLOTHING requirements and respiratory
protection.
• Lists suggested EVACUATION distances for immediate precautionary measures,
spills, and for fires (fragmentation hazard).
• When the material is highlighted in green in the yellow and blue bordered pages, it
directs the reader to consult Table 1, which lists Toxic Inhalation Hazard (TIH) (PIHin the U.S.) materials, water-reactive materials and chemical warfare agents (greenbordered pages).
EMERGENCY RESPONSE:• Outlines special precautions for incidents that involve FIRE, SPILL OR LEAK or
chemical exposure.
• Lists several recommendations under each part to further assist your decision-making
process.
• Provides general FIRST AID guidance to use before seeking medical care.
4- Green-bordered pages: This section has 3 tables.
Table 1 - Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances
Lists, by order of ID number:• TIH (PIH in the U.S.) materials• water-reactive materials that produce toxic gases upon contact with water• certain chemical warfare agents
These materials are highlighted in green in the yellow and blue bordered pages so you caneasily identify them.

Page 356

Table 1 provides two types of recommended safety distances: “initial isolation distances”
and “protective action distances” for:• small spills: 208 liters (55 US gallons) or less• large spills: more than 208 liters (55 US gallons)• Exception: For entries marked (when used as a weapon), volumes vary, but in mostcases, small spills include releases up to 2 kg (4.4 lbs.), and large spills include
releases up to 25 kg (55 lbs.).
Within the “initial isolation distance”, protective clothing and respiratory protection isrequired. You should consider evacuating all people in all directions from the spill or leaksource. This distance defines the radius of the “initial isolation zone” surrounding the spill inwhich people may be exposed to:• dangerous concentrations upwind of the source• life-threatening concentrations downwind of the source
The “protective action distances” are downwind distances from the spill or leak source,
within which responders could carry out protective actions to:• preserve the health and safety of emergency responders and the public• evacuate and/or shelter-in-place people in this area (For more information, consult
pp. 289 to 291)
The “protective action distance” is divided into daytime and nighttime incidents because
varying atmospheric conditions affect a hazardous area’s size. In fact, the quantity orconcentration of the material’s vapor poses problems, not its mere presence. During the night,
the air is generally calmer. This causes the vapor to disperse less and therefore creates agreater toxic zone. In daytime, the atmosphere is more active, so the vapor disperses more.
As a result, there is a lower concentration of vapor in the surrounding air and the area thatreaches toxic levels is smaller. Daytime is after sunrise and before sunset. Nighttime isbetween sunset and sunrise.
For example, in the case of a small spill of UN1955 - compressed gas, toxic, n.o.s., the“initial isolation distance” is 100 meters (300 feet); therefore its “initial isolation zone” is
200 meters (600 feet) in diameter. Its “protective action distance” is 0.5 kilometers (0.3
miles) for daytime and 2.5 kilometers (1.6 miles) for nighttime.
Note 1: Some water-reactive materials have 2 entries in Table 1. They are identified by (whenspilled on land) since they are TIH products and (when spilled in water) because they
produce additional toxic gases when spilled in water.
For example: UN1746 - Bromine trifluoride and UN1836 - Thionyl chloride.
Note 2: If a water-reactive material only has one entry in Table 1 for (when spilled in water)
and the product is NOT spilled in water, Table 1 and Table 2 do not apply. You will find safe
distances in the appropriate orange-bordered guide.
For example: UN1183 - Ethyldichlorosilane and UN1898 – Acetyl iodide.

Page 357

Table 2 - Water-Reactive Materials Which Produce Toxic Gases
Lists:• by order of ID number, materials that produce large amounts of Toxic Inhalation Hazard(TIH) gases when spilled in water; and• TIH gases produced by these materials.
You can easily identify water-reactive materials in Table 1, as their names are immediately
followed by (when spilled in water).
NOTE: The TIH gases indicated in Table 2 are for information purposes only. These TIH gases
have already been taken into consideration in the distances of Table 1.
For example, Table 2 indicates that UN1689 sodium cyanide, when spilled in water, will
generate hydrogen cyanide gas (HCN). In Table 1, you must refer to the distances for sodium
cyanide, solid and not the distances for hydrogen cyanide gas.
Table 3 - Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances for Large Spills for Different
Quantities of Six Common TIH Gases
Lists the following 6 most common TIH materials:• UN1005 - Ammonia, anhydrous• UN1017 - Chlorine• UN1040 - Ethylene oxide and UN1040 - Ethylene oxide with nitrogen• UN1050 - Hydrogen chloride, anhydrous and UN2186 - Hydrogen chloride, refrigerated
liquid• UN1052 - Hydrogen fluoride, anhydrous• UN1079 - Sulfur dioxide/Sulphur dioxide
Table 3 shows:• initial isolation and protective action distances for large spills (more than 208 litersor 55 US gallons)• different container types (therefore different volume capacities) for daytime andnighttime, and for three different wind speeds (low, moderate and high)Page 358

HOW TO CHOOSE THE APPROPRIATE ISOLATION AND PROTECTIVE ACTIONDISTANCES
ERG2020 lists isolation or evacuation distances in 2 places:• the individual guides (orange-bordered pages)• Table 1 – Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances (green-bordered pages)
If you are dealing with a non-TIH material (not highlighted in green in the yellow-borderedor blue-bordered pages),• Go to the assigned guide for the material (orange-bordered pages).
• Under EVACUATION, you will find:− initial isolation distance as an immediate precautionary measure− specific distances for spill or fire situations (fragmentation hazard)− Please note that certain guides may also refer to Table 1. This is just a reminder
for green highlighted materials only.
If you are dealing with a TIH, water-reactive or chemical warfare material (green highlighted
entries in the yellow or blue bordered pages):
If there is no fire:• Go directly to Table 1 – Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances (greenbordered pages).
• Also, consult the assigned guide for the material (orange-bordered pages).
If a fire is involved:• Go directly to the assigned guide (orange-bordered pages) and apply the distances
found under EVACUATION - Fire.
• Also, consult Table 1 distances for residual material release.

PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
STREET CLOTHING AND WORK UNIFORMS
These garments, such as uniforms worn by police and emergency medical services personnel,
provide almost no protection from the harmful effects of hazardous materials/dangerous goods.
STRUCTURAL FIREFIGHTERS’ PROTECTIVE CLOTHING (SFPC)This category of clothing, often called turnout or bunker gear, is the protective clothing
firefighters normally wear during structural firefighting operations. It includes a helmet, coat,pants, boots, gloves and a hood to cover parts of the head that are not protected by the helmet
and facepiece. It can be used with full-facepiece positive pressure self-contained breathingapparatus (SCBA). It should, at minimum, meet the OSHA Fire Brigades Standard (29 CFR
1910.156) or NFPA 1851.
Structural firefighters’ protective clothing provides limited protection from heat and cold. It may
not provide adequate protection from harmful vapors or liquids encountered during hazardous
materials/dangerous goods incidents.
Each guide includes a statement about the use of SFPC in incidents involving the materials
referenced by that guide. Some guides state that SFPC provides limited protection. In thosecases, the responder wearing SFPC and SCBA may be able to perform a quick “in-and-out”
operation. However, this type of operation can place the responder at risk of exposure, injury
or death. The incident commander makes the decision to do this only if there is an overriding
benefit (for example, to perform an immediate rescue, turn off a valve to control a leak, etc.).
Please note that the coverall-type protective clothing customarily worn to fight fires in forests or
wildlands is not SFPC and is not recommended nor referred to elsewhere in this guidebook.
POSITIVE PRESSURE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS (SCBA)
This apparatus provides a constant, positive pressure flow of air within the facepiece.
You should always use an SCBA certified by NIOSH and the Department of Labor/Mine
Safety and Health Administration, in accordance with:• 42 CFR Part 84• requirements for respiratory protection specified in OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134(Respiratory Protection) and/or 29 CFR 1910.156 (f) (Fire Brigades Standard)• NFPA 1852
Chemical-cartridge respirators or other filtering masks are not acceptable substitutes for
positive pressure SCBA. Demand-type SCBA does not meet the OSHA 29 CFR 1910.156(f)(1)(i) of the Fire Brigades Standard.
RESPIRATORS
If you suspect a chemical warfare agent is involved in an incident, use NIOSH-certified
respirators with CBRN protection.

Page 360

N95 respirators are the most common of the seven types of particulate filtering facepiece
respirators. This product filters at least 95% of airborne particles (0.3 microns), but is notresistant to oil. N95 filtering facepiece respirators do not protect against gases and vapors.
Powered air-purifying respirators (PAPR) force ambient air through the air-purifying cartridgeor filter into the facepiece. A PAPR does not supply oxygen or air from a separate source(e.g., cylinders).
CHEMICAL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT
For you to safely use this type of protective clothing and equipment, you need specific skills
developed through training and experience. This type of special clothing may protect against
one chemical but be readily permeated by chemicals for which it was not designed. Therefore,
do not use this type of protective clothing unless it is compatible with the released material.
Also, be aware that it offers little or no protection against heat and/or cold.
Examples of this type of equipment have been described as:(1) Vapor Protective Suits (NFPA 1991), also known as Totally-Encapsulating Chemical
Protective Suits or Level A* protection (OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120, Appendix A & B)
(2) Liquid-Splash Protective Suits (NFPA 1992), also known as Level B* or C* protection(OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120, Appendix A & B), or suits for chemical/biological terrorism
incidents (NFPA 1994), class 1, 2 or 3 Ensembles and Standard CAN/CGSB/CSA-Z1610-11 – Protection of first responders from chemical, biological, radiological,
and nuclear (CBRN) events
No single protective clothing material will protect you from all hazardous materials/dangerous
goods. Do not assume any protective clothing is resistant to cold and/or heat or flame exposure,unless certified by the manufacturer (NFPA 1991 5-3 Flammability Resistance Test and 5-6
Cold Temperature Performance Test).
*Consult the glossary for more information about protection levels under the heading“Protective Clothing.”

DECONTAMINATION
The ways to decontaminate people and equipment can vary. If you need help withdecontamination, contact the emergency response telephone number provided on the
shipping papers or the agencies listed on the inside back cover. These resources may beable to put you in contact with the chemical manufacturer to determine the appropriate
procedure if not otherwise available.
Decontamination is the process of removing or neutralizing hazardous materials/dangerous
goods that have contaminated people and equipment during an incident.
Contamination happens in the area generally referred to as the Hot Zone. Everything andeveryone entering this zone should be decontaminated when leaving, including emergency
response personnel. This reduces the chances that more contamination will occur.
There are two main types of contamination:• Direct contamination happens in the Hot Zone.
• Cross contamination happens when someone or something outside the Hot Zone
was not properly decontaminated and comes in contact with another object or person,
usually in the Warm or Cold Zone.
To decontaminate, you must:• physically remove contaminants; and/or• chemically neutralize contaminants*.
The NFPA 472, Chapter 3, describes the following four kinds of decontamination.
(1) Gross decontamination: Quickly removing surface contamination, which usually
happens by mechanically removing the contaminant or rinsing with water fromhandheld hose lines, emergency showers, or other nearby water sources.
(2) Technical decontamination: Reducing contamination to a level as low as possible bychemical or physical methods. A hazmat team will perform this kind of decontamination.
(3) Mass decontamination: Reducing or removing surface contaminants as fast as
possible from a large number of people in potentially life-threatening situations.
(4) Emergency decontamination: Immediately reducing contamination of people
in potentially life-threatening situations with or without formally setting up a
decontamination corridor. This process should be performed upwind and uphillfrom victims. Responders should avoid contact with victims, runoff or spray from thedecontamination process.
Emergency and mass decontamination can be done with firefighting and rescue operations
equipment. Nozzles can be put on wide-angle fog patterns and sprayed towards the groundto create a decontamination shower. Responders can also place nozzles on the discharge
ports of engines.
Contaminated clothing and equipment must be removed after use and stored in a controlledarea (Warm Zone) until cleanup procedures can begin. Sometimes protective clothing andequipment cannot be decontaminated and must be disposed of properly.
*Chemical neutralization releases heat. DO NOT PERFORM on a victim.

FIRE AND SPILL CONTROLFIRE CONTROL
Water is the most common and generally most available fire extinguishing agent. Use caution
in selecting a fire extinguishing method, as there are many factors to consider. Water may beineffective in fighting fires that involve some materials.
Fires Involving a Spill of Flammable Liquids
These fires are usually controlled by applying a firefighting foam to the surface of the burningmaterial.
Fighting flammable liquid fires requires:• foam concentrate that is chemically compatible with the burning material• correct mixing of the foam concentrate with water and air• careful application and maintenance of the foam blanket
There are two general types of firefighting foam: regular and alcohol-resistant. Examples ofregular foam are protein-base, fluoroprotein, and aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF).
You can control some flammable liquid fires, including many petroleum products, by applying
regular foam. Other flammable liquids, including polar solvents (flammable liquids that arewater soluble), such as alcohols and ketones, have different chemical properties. You cannot
easily control a fire that involves these materials with regular foam, and should use alcoholresistant foam instead.
Polar solvent fires may be difficult to control and require a higher foam application rate thanother flammable liquid fires (see NFPA Standards 11 for further information). Refer to theappropriate guide to determine which type of foam to use. For flammable liquids which havesubsidiary corrosive or toxic hazards, it is difficult to make specific recommendations. However,alcohol-resistant foam may be effective for many of these materials.
Contact the emergency response telephone number on the shipping paper, or the appropriate
emergency response agency, as soon as possible for guidance on the proper fire extinguishing
agent to use.
How you decide to control the fire depends on factors such as:• incident location• exposure hazards• size of the fire• environmental concerns• availability of extinguishing agents and equipment at the scene
WATER-REACTIVE MATERIALS
Water is sometimes used to flush spills and reduce or direct vapors in spill situations. Someof the materials covered by this guidebook can react violently or even explosively with water.
In these cases, consider letting the fire burn or leaving the spill alone (except to prevent its
spreading by diking) until you can get more technical advice.
Page 363

The applicable guides clearly warn you of these potentially dangerous reactions. Technicaladvice is required for these materials since:• Water getting inside a ruptured or leaking container may cause an explosion.
• You may need to cool adjoining containers with water to prevent them from rupturing(exploding), or to prevent the fire spreading further.
• Water may be effective in mitigating an incident involving a water-reactive material,
but only if you can apply it at a sufficient flooding rate for a long period.
• Products from the reaction with water may be more toxic, corrosive or undesirable
than the product that caused the fire.
When you respond to an incident involving water-reactive materials, take into account:• existing conditions, such as wind, precipitation, location and accessibility to the incident• availability of agents to control the fire or spill
Because there are variables to consider, base your decision to use water on fires or spills
involving water-reactive materials on information from a reliable source. For example, consult
the material’s manufacturer through the emergency response telephone number or theappropriate emergency response agency listed on the inside back cover.
VAPOR CONTROL
Limiting the amount of vapor released from a pool of flammable or corrosive liquids is anoperational concern. It requires proper protective clothing, specialized equipment, appropriate
chemical agents and skilled personnel. Before you engage in vapor control, seek advice ontactics to be used from qualified personnel.
There are several ways to minimize the amount of vapors escaping from pools of spilledliquids, such as special foams, adsorbing agents, absorbents, and neutralizing agents. To
be effective, you must select a method for the specific material involved, and use it in a waythat mitigates, not worsens, the incident.
Where specific materials are known, such as at a manufacturing or storage facilities, thehazardous materials/dangerous goods response team should prearrange with the facility
operators to select and stockpile these control agents before a spill.
In the field, first responders may not have the most effective vapor control agent for the material
available. They will be more likely to have only water, and only one type of firefighting foamon their vehicles. If the available foam is not appropriate, they will probably use water spray.
Because water is being used to form a vapor seal, care must be taken not to churn or further
spread the spill during application. Vapors that do not react with water may be directed awayfrom the site using the air currents surrounding the water spray. Before using water sprayor other methods to safely control vapor emission or suppress ignition, get technical advice
based on a specific chemical name.

BLEVE AND HEAT INDUCED TEARBLEVE (BOILING LIQUID EXPANDING VAPOR EXPLOSION)
The following pages present important safety-related information on BLEVEs, including atable, to consider in a situation involving Liquefied Petroleum Gases (LPG), UN1075.
LPGs include the following flammable gases:• UN1011 - Butane• UN1077 - Propylene• UN1012 - Butylene• UN1969 - Isobutane• UN1055 - Isobutylene• UN1978 - Propane
A BLEVE occurs when a fire impinged or damaged tank car fails to contain its internal pressureand explodes with a sudden product release. This catastrophic failure is more likely to occur
with damaged pressure tank cars, even in the absence of an active fire.
The main hazards from a LPG BLEVE are:• Fire: If the released substance is ignited, there is an immediate fireball.
• Thermal radiation: At a distance of about 4 times the radius of a fireball, the heatradiated from a fireball is enough to burn exposed skin in 2 seconds. Wearing protective
clothing limits the thermal radiation dose.
• Blast: A concussive force caused by the sudden release of the pressurized substance.
For a BLEVE occurring out in the open, the blast strength at a distance of 4 times theradius of a fireball can break window glass and may cause minor damage to buildings.
• Projectiles: Tank failure can throw metal fragments over large distances. Thesefragments can and have been deadly.
The danger decreases as you move away from the BLEVE centre. The furthest-reachinghazard is projectiles.
For a video with information on critical safety issues concerning BLEVEs, please visit
http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/tdg/publications-menu-1238.html.
HEAT INDUCED TEAR (HIT)A heat induced tear (HIT) is a rupture of a NON-PRESSURE tank car containing flammableliquids when exposed to the intense heat of a fire. The metal will soften and the pressure in
the tank car will increase which can lead to containment failure. The tear generally occurs
at the vapor space (upper side) of the container, venting large quantities of flammable liquidand vapors at high speed. A fireball and an intense heat wave will occur.
Compared to BLEVEs, HITs rarely result in the projection of tank car fragments. Heat induced
tearing has occurred within 20 minutes of the derailment and as long as 10+ hours following
the initial fire.
Responding to these types of incidents (BLEVE and HIT) requires specialized training,equipment and a tactical approach.

Page 365

BLEVE – SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Use with caution. The following table gives a summary of tank properties, critical times,
critical distances and cooling water flow rates for various tank sizes. This table is provided
to give responders some guidance but it should be used with caution.
Tank dimensions are approximate and can vary depending on the tank design andapplication.
Minimum time to failure is based on severe torch fire impingement on the vapor spaceof a tank in good condition, and is approximate. Tanks may fail earlier if they are damaged
or corroded. Tanks may fail minutes or hours later than these minimum times dependingon the conditions. It has been assumed here that the tanks are not equipped with thermal
barriers or water spray cooling.
Minimum time to empty is based on an engulfing fire with a properly sized pressure relief
valve. If the tank is only partially engulfed, then time to empty will increase (i.e., if tank is 50%
engulfed, then the tanks will take twice as long to empty). Once again, it has been assumed
that the tank is not equipped with a thermal barrier or water spray.
Tanks equipped with thermal barriers or water spray cooling significantly increase thetimes to failure and the times to empty. A thermal barrier can reduce the heat input to atank by a factor of ten or more. This means it could take ten times as long to empty the tankthrough the Pressure Relief Valve (PRV).
Fireball radius and emergency response distance is based on mathematical equations
and is approximate. They assume spherical fireballs and this is not always the case.
Two safety distances for public evacuation. The minimum distance is based on tanks
that are launched with a small elevation angle (i.e., a few degrees above horizontal). This ismost common for horizontal cylinders. The preferred evacuation distance has more marginof safety since it assumes the tanks are launched at a 45 degree angle to the horizontal.
This might be more appropriate if a vertical cylinder is involved.
It is understood that these distances are very large and may not be practical in a highly
populated area. However, it should be understood that the risks increase rapidly the closer
you are to a BLEVE. Keep in mind that the furthest reaching projectiles tend to come off in
the zones 45 degrees on each side of the tank ends.
Water flow rate is based on 5 ( √capacity (USgal) ) = USgal/min needed to cool tankmetal.
Warning: the data given are approximate and should only be used with extreme caution.
For example, where times are given for tank failure or tank emptying through the pressure
relief valve – these times are typical but they can vary from situation to situation. Therefore,
never risk life based on these times.

WARNING:CRIMINAL OR TERRORIST USE OF CHEMICAL, BIOLOGICAL AND
RADIOLOGICAL AGENTS
If you suspect an intentional release of a chemical, biological or radiological agent (CBRN),
you should immediately contact your local emergency response authorities (911). Additionally,
for CBRN incidents occurring:• within the United States, call the National Response Center at 1-800-424-8802• within Canada, call CANUTEC at 613-996-6666 (1-888-226-8832)• within Mexico, call CENACOM at 555128-0000 extensions 36428, 36422, 36469,
37807, 37810• in other countries, consult page 392
The following is general guidance and does not serve as specialized incident response training.
Do not enter the scene without appropriate training and equipment.
First responders can use the following information to make an initial assessment of a situation
they suspect involves criminal or terrorist use of chemical agents, biological agents and/or radioactive materials (CBRN). To help with this, the following paragraphs have a list ofobservable indicators that a CB agent or radioactive material has been used or is present.
This section ends with a Safe Stand-Off Distance Chart for various threats when improvised
explosive devices (IEDs) are involved.
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN A CHEMICAL, BIOLOGICAL AND RADIOLOGICAL AGENT
Chemical and biological agents as well as radioactive materials can be dispersed in the air
we breathe, the water we drink, or on surfaces we physically contact. Dispersion methods
may be as simple as opening a container or using conventional (garden) spray devices, oras elaborate as detonating an improvised explosive device.
Chemical incidents are characterized by the rapid onset of medical symptoms (in minutes
to hours) and easily observed signatures (colored residue, dead foliage, pungent odor, dead
insects and animals).
Biological incidents are characterized by the onset of symptoms in hours to days. Typically,
there will be no characteristic signatures because biological agents are usually odorless andcolorless. Because of the delayed onset of symptoms, the affected area may be greater due
to the movement of infected people.
Radiological incidents are characterized by the onset of symptoms, if any, in days to weeks
or longer. Typically, there will be no characteristic signatures because radioactive materials
are usually odorless and colorless. Specialized equipment is needed to determine the size ofthe affected area, and if the level of radioactivity is an immediate or long-term health hazard.
Because it is impossible to detect radioactivity without special equipment, the affected area
may be greater due to the migration of contaminated people.

Page 368

The most probable sources would not generate enough radiation to kill people or cause severe
illness. In a radiological incident generated by a “dirty bomb,” or radiological dispersal device(RDD), in which a conventional explosive is detonated to spread radioactive contamination,
the primary hazard is from the explosion. However, certain radioactive materials dispersedin the air could contaminate up to several city blocks, creating fear and possibly panic, andneeding potentially costly cleanup.
INDICATORS OF A POSSIBLE CHEMICAL INCIDENT
Dead animals/birds/fish

Not just an occasional road kill, but numerous animals(wild and domestic, small and large), birds, and fish in
the same area.
Lack of insect life
If normal insect activity (ground, air, and/or water) is
missing, check the ground, water surface or shore line
for dead insects. If near water, check for dead fish and/or aquatic birds.
Unexplained odors
Possible odors include fruity, flowery, sharp, pungent,garlic, horseradish-like, bitter almonds, peach kernels, or
newly mown hay. The odor is completely out of characterwith its surroundings.
Unusual numbers of dying or Health problems including nausea, disorientation,
sick people (mass casualties) difficulty in breathing, convulsions, localized sweating,conjunctivitis (reddening of eyes), erythema (reddeningof skin) and death.
Pattern of casualties
Casualties will likely be distributed downwind, or ifindoors, by the air ventilation system.
Blisters or rashes
Numerous people experiencing unexplained water-likeblisters, weals (like bee stings), and/or rashes.
Illness in confined area
Different casualty rates for people working indoors versus
outdoors dependent on where the agent was released.
Unusual liquid droplets
Numerous surfaces show oily droplets or film; numerous
water surfaces have an oily film (no recent rain).
Different-looking areas
Not just a patch of dead weeds, but trees, shrubs, bushes,
food crops, and/or lawns that are dead, discolored, orwithered (no current drought).
Low-lying clouds
Low-lying cloud or fog-like condition not consistent with
its surroundings.
Unusual metal debris
Unexplained bomb or munitions-like material, especially
if it contains a liquid.

Page 369

INDICATORS OF A POSSIBLE BIOLOGICAL INCIDENT
Unusual numbers of sick ordying people or animals

Unscheduled and unusualspray being disseminated
Abandoned spray devices

Any number of symptoms may occur. Casualties may
occur hours to days after an incident has occurred.
The time required before symptoms are observed isdependent on the agent.
Especially if outdoors during periods of darkness.
Devices may not have distinct odors.

INDICATORS OF A POSSIBLE RADIOLOGICAL INCIDENT
Radiation Symbols
Unusual metal debris
Heat-emitting material
Glowing material
Sick people/animals

Containers may display a “propeller” radiation symbol.
Unexplained bomb or munitions-like material.
Material that is hot or seems to emit heat without any
sign of an external heat source.
Strongly radioactive material may emit or causeradioluminescence.
In very improbable scenarios there may be unusual
numbers of sick or dying people or animals. Casualties
may occur hours to days or weeks after an incident
has occurred. The time required before symptoms areobserved is dependent on the radioactive material used,
and the dose received. Possible symptoms include skinreddening or vomiting.

PERSONAL SAFETY CONSIDERATIONSWhen you approach a scene that may involve CB agents or radioactive materials, the mostcritical thing to consider is your safety and that of other responders.
Use protective clothing and respiratory protection of an appropriate level of safety. In incidents
where you suspect that CBRN materials have been used as weapons, NIOSH-certified
respirators with CBRN protection are highly recommended. Be aware that you may not beable to verify or identify CB agents or radioactive materials, especially in the case of biologicalor radiological agents.
The following actions apply to a chemical, biological or radiological incident. This guidanceis general. Responders will need to apply it on a case-by-case basis.
Approach and response strategies:• Minimize exposure time.
• Maximize the distance between you and the item that is likely to harm you.
• Use cover as protection.

Page 370

• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment and respiratory protection.
• Identify and estimate the hazard by using the indicators above.
• Isolate the area and secure the scene.
• Isolate and decontaminate potentially contaminated people as soon as possible.
• To the extent possible, take measures to limit the spread of contamination.
In the event of a chemical incident, the fading of chemical odors does not necessarily indicate
reduced vapor concentrations. Some chemicals deaden the senses, giving you the false
perception that the chemical is no longer present.
If there is any indication that an area may be contaminated with radioactive materials,
including the site of any non-accidental explosion, responders:• should be equipped with radiation detection equipment• should have adequate training in how to use this equipment
This equipment should be designed to also alert responders when an unacceptable ambient
dose rate or ambient dose has been reached.
Initial actions to consider in a potential CBRN/terrorism event:• Avoid using cell phones, radios, etc. within 100 meters (300 feet) of a suspect device.
• Notify your local police by calling 911.
• Set up incident command upwind and uphill of the area.
• Do not touch or move suspicious packages or containers.
• Be cautious about the potential presence of secondary devices (e.g., improvised
explosive devices (IEDs)).
• Avoid contamination.
• Limit access to only those responsible for rescue of victims or assessment of unknown
materials or devices.
• Evacuate and isolate people who were potentially exposed to hazardous materials/
dangerous goods.
• Isolate contaminated areas and secure the scene for analysis of material.
DECONTAMINATION MEASURESFor chemical and biological agents: Emergency responders should follow standard
decontamination procedures (flush-strip-flush). Mass casualty decontamination should begin
as soon as possible by stripping all clothing, and flushing with soap and water. For further
information, contact the agencies listed on the inside back cover of this guidebook.
For people contaminated with radioactive material: Take care to minimize the spreadof the contamination to the extent possible. Move them to a low radiation area if necessary,and if it can be done safely. Remove their clothing and place it in a clearly marked andsealed receptacle, such as a plastic bag, for later testing. Use decontamination methods

Page 371

described above, but avoid breaking the skin (e.g., vigorous brushing). External radiologicalcontamination on intact skin rarely causes a high enough dose to be a hazard, to either thecontaminated individual or the first responders. For this reason, prioritize medical stabilization
for a contaminated injured individual.
NOTE: The above information was developed in part by the Department of National Defence(Canada), the U.S. Department of the Army, Aberdeen Proving Ground and theFederal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
IMPROVISED EXPLOSIVE DEVICE (IED)An IED is a “homemade” bomb and/or destructive device used to destroy, incapacitate, harass,or distract. Because they are improvised, IEDs can come in many forms, ranging from a small
pipe bomb to a sophisticated device capable of causing massive damage and loss of life.
The following table predicts the damage radius based on the volume or weight of explosive(TNT equivalent) and the type of bomb.

BLEVE

A gas which sticks (adsorbs) to the surface of a solid and porous
material (such as activated charcoal) contained within a metal
cylinder. This results in an internal cylinder pressure of less than
101.3 kPa at 20°C (14 psi at 68°F) and less than 300 kPa at 50°C
(43 psi at 122°F). These pressures are much lower than those of
conventional cylinders containing compressed or liquefied gases.
Acute Exposure Guideline Level(s), AEGLs represent threshold
exposure limits for the general public after a once-in-a-lifetime,or rare, exposure and are applicable to emergency exposure
periods ranging from 10 minutes to 8 hours. Three levels AEGL1, AEGL-2 and AEGL-3 are developed for each of five exposure
periods (10 and 30 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, and 8 hours) andare distinguished by varying degrees of severity of toxic effects;
see AEGL-1, AEGL-2 and AEGL-3.
AEGL‑1 is the airborne concentration (expressed as parts
per million or milligrams per cubic meter [ppm or mg/m3]) of a
substance above which it is predicted that the general population,
including susceptible individuals, could experience notablediscomfort, irritation, or certain asymptomatic, non‑sensory
effects. However, the effects are not disabling and are transientand reversible upon cessation of exposure.
AEGL‑2 is the airborne concentration (expressed as ppm or mg/m3) of a substance above which it is predicted that the general
population, including susceptible individuals, could experience
irreversible or other serious, long‑lasting adverse health effects
or an impaired ability to escape.
AEGL‑3 is the airborne concentration (expressed as ppm or mg/m3) of a substance above which it is predicted that the general
population, including susceptible individuals, could experience
life‑threatening health effects or death.
A foam that is resistant to polar chemicals such as ketones andesters which may break down other types of foam.
Pathogens (bacteria, viruses, etc.) or the toxins they produce(such as anthrax) that are dispersed with criminal intent. They

package (for example, a drum), a small cylinder, or a small leakfrom a large package.
Weight of a substance compared to the weight of an equal volume
of water at a given temperature. Specific gravity less than 1
indicates a substance is lighter than water; specific gravity greaterthan 1 indicates a substance is heavier than water.
Method used to apply or distribute water from the end of ahose. The water is delivered under pressure for penetration. In
an efficient straight (solid) stream, approximately 90% of thewater passes through an imaginary circle 38 cm (15 inches) indiameter at the breaking point. Hose (solid or straight) streams
are frequently used to cool tanks and other equipment exposed
to flammable liquid fires, or for washing burning spills away fromdanger points. However, straight streams will cause a spill fire to
spread if improperly used or when directed into open containersof flammable and combustible liquids.
Toxic Inhalation Hazard. Term used to describe gases andvolatile liquids that are toxic when inhaled (same as PIH). Thesematerials pose a known hazard to human health during transport
or is presumed to be toxic to humans because of animal-based
studies.
Page 383

GLOSSARYV

Saturated vapor concentration in air of a material in mL/m3 (ppm)
at 20°C and standard atmospheric pressure.
Vapor density
Weight of a volume of pure vapor or gas (with no air present)
compared to the weight of an equal volume of dry air at the same
temperature and pressure. A vapor density less than 1 (one)indicates that the vapor is lighter than air and will tend to rise.
A vapor density greater than 1 (one) indicates that the vapor isheavier than air and may travel along the ground
Vapor pressure
Pressure at which a liquid and its vapor are in equilibrium at agiven temperature. Liquids with high vapor pressures evaporate
rapidly.
Viscosity
Measure of a liquid’s internal resistance to flow. This property isimportant because it indicates how fast a material will leak out
through holes in containers or tanks.
Warm zone
Area between Hot and Cold zones where personnel andequipment decontamination and hot zone support take place. It
includes control points for the access corridor and thus assists
in reducing the spread of contamination. Also referred to as
the contamination reduction corridor (CRC), contamination
reduction zone (CRZ), yellow zone or limited access zone inother documents. (EPA Standard Operating Safety Guidelines,
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120, NFPA 472).
Water Reactive Material In this guidebook, materials which produce significant toxic gas
when it comes in contact with water.
Water-sensitive
Substances which may produce flammable and/or toxic
decomposition products upon contact with water.

GLOSSARY
Water spray (fog)

Method or way to apply or distribute water. The water is finely
divided to provide for high heat absorption. Water spray patterns
can range from about 10 to 90 degrees. Water spray streams
can be used to extinguish or control the burning of a fire or toprovide exposure protection for personnel, equipment, buildings,
etc. (This method can be used to absorb vapors, knockdown vapors or disperse vapors. Direct a water spray (fog),
rather than a straight (solid) stream, into the vapor cloud toaccomplish any of the above).
Water spray is particularly effective on fires of flammable liquids
and volatile solids having flash points above 37.8°C (100°F).
Regardless of the above, water spray can be used successfullyon flammable liquids with low flash points. The effectiveness
depends particularly on the method of application. With proper
nozzles, even gasoline spill fires of some types have been
extinguished when coordinated hose lines were used to sweep
the flames off the surface of the liquid. Furthermore, water
spray carefully applied has frequently been used with successin extinguishing fires involving flammable liquids with high flash
points (or any viscous liquids) by causing frothing to occur only
on the surface, and this foaming action blankets and extinguishes
the fire.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE ASSISTANCE PLANS (Applies in Canada ONLY)An ERAP or Emergency Response Assistance Plan is an approved plan that describes
what is to be done in the event of a transportation accident involving certain higher risk
dangerous goods. The ERAP is required by the Canadian Transportation of Dangerous
Goods Act for dangerous goods that require special expertise and response equipment
to respond to an incident. The plan is intended to assist local emergency responders byproviding them with technical experts and specially trained and equipped emergency
response personnel at the scene of a dangerous goods incident.
The ERAP will describe the specialized response capabilities, equipment and proceduresthat will be used to support a response to incidents involving high risk dangerous goods.
The plan will also address emergency preparedness, including personnel training,
response exercises and equipment maintenance. The ERAP plans supplement thoseof the carrier and of the local and provincial authorities, and must be integrated withother organizations to help mitigate the consequences of an accident.
For shipments that require an ERAP, the ERAP number and the phone number toactivate the ERAP will be included on the shipping paper. If additional information isrequired, or to determine if the product involved in the emergency requires an ERAP,
contact CANUTEC.
CANUTEC may be called at 1-888-CANUTEC (226-8832)
