HAZARD CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM

The hazard class of dangerous goods is indicated either by its class (or division) number or name. 

Placards are used to identify the class or division of a material. The hazard class or division number 

must be displayed in the lower corner of a placard and is required for both primary and subsidiary hazard 

classes and divisions, if applicable. For other than Class 7 or the OXYGEN placard, text indicating a 

hazard (for example, “CORROSIVE”) is not required. Text is shown only in the U.S. The hazard class 

or division number and subsidiary hazard classes or division numbers placed in parentheses (when 

applicable), must appear on the shipping document after each proper shipping name.

Class 1 - Explosives

Division 1.1 Explosives with a mass explosion hazard

Division 1.2 Explosives with a projection hazard

Division 1.3 Explosives with predominantly a fire hazard

Division 1.4 Explosives with no significant blast hazard

Division 1.5 Very insensitive explosives with a mass explosion hazard

Division 1.6 Extremely insensitive articles

Class 2 - Gases

Division 2.1 Flammable gases

Division 2.2 Non-flammable, non-toxic* gases

Division 2.3 Toxic* gases

Class 3 - Flammable liquids (and Combustible liquids [U.S.])

Class 4 - Flammable solids; Spontaneously combustible materials; and 

Dangerous when wet materials/Water-reactive substances

Division 4.1 Flammable solids

Division 4.2 Spontaneously combustible materials

Division 4.3 Water-reactive substances/Dangerous when wet materials

Class 5 - Oxidizing substances and Organic peroxides

Division 5.1 Oxidizing substances

Division 5.2 Organic peroxides

Class 6 - Toxic* substances and Infectious substances

Division 6.1 Toxic*substances

Division 6.2 Infectious substances

Class 7 - Radioactive materials

Class 8 - Corrosive substances

Class 9 - Miscellaneous hazardous materials/Products, Substances or Organisms

* The words “poison” or “poisonous” are synonymous with the word “toxic”.

INTRODUCTION TO THE TABLE OF PLACARDS

USE THE TABLE OF PLACARDS ONLY WHEN THE ID NUMBER OR PROPER SHIPPING 

NAME IS NOT AVAILABLE.

The next two pages display the placards used on transport vehicles carrying dangerous 

goods with the applicable reference GUIDE circled. Follow these steps:

1. Approach scene from upwind, uphill 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 guide 

information for now. For example:

•	 Use GUIDE for a FLAMMABLE (Class 3) placard

•	 Use GUIDE for a CORROSIVE (Class 8) placard

•	 Use GUIDE when the DANGER/DANGEROUS placard is displayed or the 

nature of the spilled, leaking or burning material is not known. Also use this GUIDE 

when the presence of dangerous goods is suspected but no placards 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).

4. Guides associated with the placards provide the most significant risk and/or 

hazard information.

5. When specific information, such as ID number or proper shipping name, becomes 

available, the more specific Guide recommended for that material must be 

consulted.

6. Asterisks (*) on orange placards represent explosives “Compatibility Group” 

letters; refer to the Glossary (page 375).

7. Double asterisks (**) on orange placards represent the division of the explosive.

RAIL CAR IDENTIFICATION CHART*

CAUTION: Emergency response personnel must be aware that rail tank cars vary widely 

in construction, fittings and purpose. Tank cars could transport products that may be solids, 

liquids or gases. The products may be under pressure. It is essential that products be 

identified by consulting shipping documents or train consist or contacting dispatch centers 

before emergency response is initiated.

The information stenciled on the sides or ends of tank cars, as illustrated above, may be 

used to identify the product utilizing:

a. the commodity name shown; or

b. the other information shown, especially reporting marks and car number which, when 

supplied to a dispatch center, will facilitate the identification of the product.

* The recommended guides should be considered as last resort if the material 

cannot be identified by any other means.
Page 9

ROAD TRAILER IDENTIFICATION CHART*

CAUTION: This chart depicts only the most general shapes of road trailers. Emergency 

response personnel must be aware that there are many variations of road trailers, not 

illustrated above, that are used for shipping chemical products. The suggested guides are 

for the most hazardous products that may be transported in these trailer types.

* The recommended guides should be considered as last resort if the material 

cannot be identified by any other means.
Page 10

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 

United Nations 4-digit identification 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 include 

 the possibility, due to the nature of a substance, of a risk of explosion, 

 disintegration and 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 a 

single digit, the digit is followed by a zero (i.e., 30, 40, 50).

•	 A hazard identification number prefixed by the letter “X” indicates that the 

substance will react dangerously with water (i.e., X88).

PIPELINE TRANSPORTATION

In North America, hazardous materials are transported through millions of miles of underground 

pipelines and related structures that can contain natural gas, natural gas liquids, crude oil, 

gasoline, diesel fuel, anhydrous ammonia, carbon dioxide, jet fuel and other commodities. 

Although pipelines are buried, there are above-ground structures and signs indicating the 

presence of underground transmission pipelines (see page 19 for U.S. pipeline location 

information). Natural gas also is transported via underground distribution pipelines.

Gas Pipelines

Natural Gas Transmission Pipelines

Large-diameter, steel pipelines transporting 

flammable, toxic and non-toxic natural gas at very 

high pressure.

Structures: Compressor Station Buildings, Valves, 

Metering Stations, and Aerial Patrol Markers.

Markers: “Warning, Caution, or Danger” appear at 

road, railroad, and water crossings, or may be posted 

at property boundaries and include operator’s 

emergency Point-of-Contact (POC) and product 

transported.

Natural Gas Distribution Pipelines

Natural gas is delivered directly to customers via distribution pipelines--typically smallerdiameter, lower-pressure pipelines, and can be steel, plastic, or cast iron.

Structures: Regulator stations, customer meters and regulators, and valve box covers are 

the only above-ground indicators of gas distribution pipelines.

Gas Gathering and Gas Well Production Pipelines

Gas gathering/gas well production pipelines collect “raw” natural gas from wellheads and 

transport product to gas-processing and/or gas-treating plants. These gathering pipelines 

carry natural gas mixed with some level of gas liquids, water and, in some areas, 

contaminants such as hydrogen sulfide (H2

S).

Structures – Compressor Station Buildings, Valves, Metering Stations, and Aerial

Patrol Markers.
Page 15

Markers – Often appear at road, railroad,

and water crossings. Signs may be posted 

at property boundaries. Signs include 

operator’s POC and product transported. 

Warning, Caution, or Danger will appear

on signs.

Note: Pipelines transporting natural gas 

containing dangerous levels of H2

S may

have signs that say: “Sour Gas” or

“Poison Gas”.

For Natural Gas Pipeline Incidents

Two important things to remember:

•	 Never attempt to extinguish a gas fire; this could prolong/worsen incident/cause 

another leak in the pipeline.

•	 Never attempt to operate pipeline valves; this could prolong/worsen incident/cause 

another leak in the pipeline.

SIGNS OF GAS PIPELINE RUPTURE:

•	 Loud roaring or explosive sound; OR

•	 Large flames and loud roaring noise.

Follow these steps:

•	 Immediately evacuate area;

•	 Move upwind, away from flames; prevent individuals from entering;

•	 If no flames present, do not start/turn off vehicles/electrical equipment (ex: cell phones, 

pagers, two-way radios, or lights) as this could cause spark/ignition;

•	 Abandon equipment used in/near area;

•	 If flames present, driving away from area is acceptable;

•	 Move far enough from noise to allow normal conversation;

•	 From safe location, call 911 or contact the local fire/law enforcement; and

•	 Notify pipeline operator.
Page 16

ANY ONE OF THESE COULD INDICATE A SUSPECTED GAS PIPELINE LEAK:

•	 Whistling/hissing sound;

•	 Distinctive, strong odor, similar to rotten eggs;

•	 Dense fog, mist, or white cloud;

•	 Bubbling in water, ponds, or creeks;

•	 Dust or dirt blowing up from ground; OR

•	 Discolored/dead vegetation above pipeline right-of-way.

Follow these steps:

•	 Evacuate area to where you can no longer hear, see, or smell gas;

•	 Do not start/turn off vehicles/electrical equipment (ex: cell phones, pagers, two-way 

radios or lights) as this could cause spark/ignition;

•	 Abandon equipment used in/near the area;

•	 Avoid open flames;

•	 Prevent individuals from entering area;

•	 Call 911 or contact the local fire/law enforcement from a safe location; and

•	 Notify pipeline operator.

Considerations for Establishing Protective Action Distance:

•	 Type of product (eg. sour vs sweet);

•	 Pressure and diameter of pipe;

•	 Timing of valve closure by utility (quickly for automated valves/longer for manually 

operated valves);

•	 Dissipation time of gas in pipe once valves are closed;

•	 Heat factor of natural gas;

•	 Local variables such as climate/weather, wind direction, topography, population density, 

demographics, and fire suppression methods available;

•	 Nearby building construction material/density;

•	 Wild land/urban interface; and

•	 Natural and manmade barriers (highway).

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.
Page 17

Liquids Pipelines

Petroleum and Hazardous Liquids Pipelines

Crude oil, refined petroleum products, and hazardous 

liquids often are transported by pipelines and include 

gasoline, jet fuels, diesel fuel, home heating oils, 

carbon dioxide and anhydrous ammonia. Sometimes 

liquids pipelines transport natural gas liquids, which, 

like carbon dioxide and anhydrous ammonia, rapidly 

change from liquid to gaseous state when released 

from a pressurized pipeline.

Structures – Storage Tanks, Valves, Pump Stations, 

Aerial Patrol Markers

Markers – Often appear at road, railroad and water crossings, and may be posted at 

property boundaries. Signs include operator emergency POCs and product transported. 

Warning, Caution, or Danger appear on signs.

For Petroleum and Hazardous Liquids Pipeline Incidents

Two important things to remember:

•	 Never attempt to extinguish flame before shutting off supply, as this can cause 

formation of explosive mixtures, and

•	 Never attempt to operate pipeline valves. This could prolong/worsen incident–or 

cause another pipeline leak.

SIGNS OF LIQUIDS PIPELINE RUPTURE:

•	 Loud roaring, hissing, or explosive sound; OR 

•	 Very large flames and loud roaring noise.

Follow these steps:

•	 Immediately evacuate area;

•	 Move upwind, far from flames, prevent individuals from entering area;

•	 If no flames present, do not start/turn off vehicles/electrical equipment (ex: cell phones, 

pagers, two-way radios, or lights) as this could cause spark/ignition;

•	 Abandon equipment used in/near the area;

•	 Keep traffic away; secure the area;
Page 18

•	 If flames present, driving away from area is acceptable;

•	 Move far enough away from noise to allow normal conversation;

•	 From safe location, call 911 or contact the local fire/law enforcement; and

•	 From a safe area, call toll-free emergency number on right-of-way marker to notify 

pipeline operator.

ANY ONE OF THESE COULD INDICATE SUSPECTED LIQUIDS PIPELINE LEAK:

•	 Liquids bubbling up from ground;

•	 “Oil slick” on flowing/standing water;

•	 Flames appearing from ground;

•	 Vapor clouds;

•	 Discolored vegetation or snow; and

•	 Unusual petroleum, skunk or rotten-egg odor.

Follow these steps:

•	 Do not drive into vapor cloud;

•	 Carefully evacuate the immediate area so you can no longer hear, see, smell odor;

•	 Avoid introducing sources of ignition--do not start/turn off vehicles/electrical equipment 

(ex: cell phones, pagers, two-way radios, or lights); as this could cause spark/ignition;

•	 Abandon equipment being used in/near area;

•	 Avoid open flames;

•	 Prevent individuals from entering area;

•	 Call 911 or contact the local fire/law enforcement from a safe location; and

•	 Notify pipeline operator.

Considerations For Establishing Protective Action Distance:

•	 Type of product (eg. sour vs sweet);

•	 Pressure/diameter of pipe;

•	 Timing of valve closure by utility (quickly for automated valves/longer for manually 

operated valves);

•	 Dissipation time of material in pipe once valves closed;

•	 Heat factor of product;

•	 Local variables such as climate/weather, wind direction, topography, population density, 

demographics and fire suppression methods available for use;
Page 19

•	 Nearby building construction material/density;

•	 Wild land/urban interface; and

•	 Natural and man-made barriers (highway).

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.

GREEN HIGHLIGHTED ENTRIES IN YELLOW PAGES

For 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

•	 IF THERE IS A FIRE or A FIRE IS INVOLVED:

- Also consult the assigned orange guide

- If applicable, apply the evacuation information shown under

PUBLIC SAFETY

 Note: If the name in Table 1 is shown with “When Spilled In Water”, these materials 

produce large amounts of Toxic Inhalation Hazard (TIH) gases when spilled 

in water. Some Water Reactive materials are also TIH materials themselves

(e.g., Bromine trifluoride (1746), Thionyl chloride (1836), etc.). In these instances, 

two entries are provided in Table 1 for land-based and water-based spills. If the 

Water Reactive material is NOT a TIH and this material is NOT spilled in water, 

Table 1 and Table 2 do not apply and safety distances will be found within the 

appropriate orange guide.

GREEN HIGHLIGHTED ENTRIES IN BLUE PAGES

For 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

•	 IF THERE IS A FIRE or A FIRE IS INVOLVED:

- Also consult the assigned orange guide

- If applicable, apply the evacuation information shown under

PUBLIC SAFETY

 Note: If the name in Table 1 is shown with “When Spilled In Water”, these materials produce 

large amounts of Toxic Inhalation Hazard (TIH) gases when spilled in water. Some 

Water Reactive materials are also TIH materials themselves (e.g., Bromine trifluoride 

(1746), Thionyl chloride (1836), etc.). In these instances, two entries are provided in 

Table 1 for land-based and water-based spills. If the Water Reactive material is NOT

a TIH and this material is NOT spilled in water, Table 1 and Table 2 do not apply and 

safety distances will be found within the appropriate orange guide.

•	 Do not move damaged packages; move undamaged packages out of fire zone.

Small Fire

•	 Dry chemical, CO2

, water spray or regular foam.

Large Fire

•	 Water spray, fog (flooding amounts).

SPILL OR LEAK

•	 Do not touch damaged packages or spilled material.

•	 Damp surfaces on undamaged or slightly damaged packages are seldom an indication of packaging

failure. Contents are seldom liquid. Content is usually a metal capsule, easily seen if released from

package.

•	 If source capsule is identified as being out of package, DO NOT TOUCH. Stay away and await advice

from Radiation Authority.

POTENTIAL HAZARDS

HEALTH

•	 Radiation presents minimal risk to transport workers, emergency response personnel and the public

during transportation accidents. Packaging durability increases as potential radiation and criticality

hazards of the content 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 to prevent 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

potentially life endangering amounts. Because of design, evaluation and testing of packages, fission

chain reactions are prevented 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

meter from a single, isolated, undamaged package; instead, it might relate to controls needed during

transport because of the fissile properties of the materials. Alternatively, the fissile nature of the contents

may be indicated by a criticality 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

flames at temperatures of 800°C (1475°F) for a period of 30 minutes.

PUBLIC SAFETY •	 CALL EMERGENCY RESPONSE Telephone Number on Shipping Paper first. If Shipping Paper not 

available 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.

•	 As an immediate precautionary measure, isolate spill or leak area for at least 25 meters (75 feet) in all

directions. • Stay upwind. • Keep unauthorized personnel away.

•	 Detain or isolate uninjured persons or equipment suspected to be contaminated; delay decontamination

and cleanup 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.

INTRODUCTION TO GREEN TABLES - INITIAL ISOLATION

AND PROTECTIVE ACTION DISTANCES

Table 1 - Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances suggests distances useful to protect 

people from vapors resulting from spills involving dangerous goods that are considered toxic by 

inhalation (TIH). This list includes certain chemical warfare agents and materials that produce 

toxic gases upon contact with water. Table 1 provides first responders with initial guidance until 

technically qualified emergency response personnel are available. 

The Initial Isolation Zone defines an area SURROUNDING the incident in which persons 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 which persons may 

become incapacitated and unable to take protective action and/or incur serious or irreversible 

health effects. Table 1 provides specific guidance for small and large spills occurring day or night.

Adjusting distances for a specific incident involves many interdependent variables and should 

be made only by personnel technically qualified to make such adjustments. 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 Distances

The orange-bordered guide for a material clearly indicates under the section EVACUATION 

– Fire, the evacuation distance required to protect against fragmentation hazard of a large 

container. If the material becomes involved in a FIRE, the toxic hazard may be less than the 

fire or explosion hazard. In these cases, the Fire hazard distance should be used.

Initial isolation and protective action distances in this guidebook 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 of the initial isolation and protective action distances is appropriate in 

absence of other information.

If more than one tank car containing TIH materials involved in the incident is leaking, LARGE 

SPILL distances may need to be increased.

For a material with a protective action distance of 11.0+ km (7.0+ miles), the actual distance can 

be larger in certain atmospheric conditions. If the dangerous goods vapor plume is channeled 

in a valley or between many tall buildings, distances may be larger than shown in Table 1 due 

to less mixing of the plume with the atmosphere. Daytime spills in regions with known strong 

inversions or snow cover, or occurring near sunset, may require an increase of the protective 

action distance because airborne contaminants mix and disperse more slowly and may travel 

much farther downwind. In such cases, the nighttime protective action distance may be more 

appropriate. In addition, protective action distances may be larger for liquid spills when either 

the material or outdoor temperature exceeds 30°C (86°F).
Page 286

Materials which react with water to produce large amounts of toxic gases are included in Table 

1 - Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances. Note that some water-reactive materials 

(WRM) which are also TIH (e.g., Bromine trifluoride (1746), Thionyl chloride (1836), etc.) produce 

additional TIH materials when spilled in water. For these materials, two entries are provided in 

Table 1 - Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances (i.e., for spills on land and for spills 

in water). If it is not clear whether the spill is on land or in water, or in cases where the 

spill occurs both on land and in water, choose the larger Protective Action Distance. 

Following Table 1, Table 2 – Water-Reactive Materials Which Produce Toxic Gases lists materials 

that produce large amounts of Toxic Inhalation Hazard gases (TIH) when spilled in water as 

well as the toxic gases that are produced when spilled in water.

When a water-reactive TIH producing material is spilled into a river or stream, the source of 

the toxic gas may move with the current and stretch from the spill point downstream for a 

substantial distance.

Finally, Table 3 lists Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances for Toxic Inhalation Hazard 

materials that may be more commonly encountered. 

The selected materials are:

•	 Ammonia, anhydrous (UN1005)

•	 Chlorine (UN1017)

•	 Ethylene oxide (UN1040)

•	 Hydrogen chloride (UN1050) and Hydrogen chloride, refrigerated liquid (UN2186)

•	 Hydrogen fluoride (UN1052)

•	 Sulfur dioxide/Sulphur dioxide (UN1079)

The materials are presented in alphabetical order and provide Initial Isolation and Protective 

Action Distances for large spills (more than 208 liters or 55 US gallons) involving different 

container types (therefore different volume capacities) for day time and night time situations 

and for different wind speeds.

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 the best 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 information and instructions 

while being evacuated or sheltered in-place.

Proper evaluation of the factors listed below will determine the effectiveness of evacuation or 

in-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 

as well. This list indicates what kind of information may be needed to make the initial decision.

The 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

Weather Conditions

•	 Effect on vapor and cloud movement

•	 Potential for change

•	 Effect on evacuation or shelter in-place
Page 288

PROTECTIVE ACTIONS

Protective Actions are those steps taken to preserve the health and safety of emergency 

responders and the public during an incident involving releases of dangerous goods. Table 

1 - Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances (green-bordered pages) predicts the size of 

downwind areas which could be affected by a cloud of toxic gas. People in this area should be 

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 first to establish 

control over the area of operations. This is the first step for any protective actions that may 

follow. See Table 1 - Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances (green-bordered pages) 

for more detailed information on specific materials.

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, to get ready, and to leave an 

area. If there is enough time, evacuation is the best protective action. Begin evacuating people 

nearby and those outdoors in direct view of the scene. When additional help arrives, expand 

the area to be evacuated downwind and crosswind to at 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 congregate at such distances. Send evacuees 

to a definite 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. Sheltering in-place is used when evacuating the public would cause 

greater risk than staying where they are, or when an evacuation cannot be performed.

Direct the people inside to close all doors and windows and to shut off all ventilating, 

heating and cooling systems. In-place protection (shelter in-place) may not be the best

option if (a) the vapors are flammable; (b) if it will take a long time for the gas to clear the area; 

or (c) if buildings cannot be closed tightly. Vehicles can offer some protection for a short period 

if the windows are closed and the ventilating systems are shut off. Vehicles are not as effective 

as buildings for in-place protection.

It is vital to maintain communications with competent persons inside the building so that 

they are advised about changing conditions. Persons protected-in-place should be warned 

to stay far from windows because of the danger from glass and projected metal fragments 

in a fire and/or explosion.

Every dangerous goods incident is different. Each will have special problems and concerns. 

Action to protect the public must be selected carefully. 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.

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 was statistical in 

nature and utilized state-of-the-art emission rate and dispersion models; statistical release 

data from the U.S. DOT HMIS (Hazardous Materials Information System) database;

meteorological observations from over 120 locations in United States, Canada and Mexico; and 

the most current toxicological exposure guidelines. 

For each chemical, thousands of hypothetical releases were modeled to account for the statistical 

variation in both release amount and atmospheric conditions. Based on this statistical sample, 

the 90th percentile Protective Action Distance for each chemical and category was selected 

to appear in the Table. A brief description of the analysis is provided below. A detailed report 

outlining the methodology and data used in the generation of the Initial Isolation and Protective 

Action Distances may be obtained from the U.S. Department of Transportation, Pipeline and 

Hazardous Materials Safety Administration.

Release amounts and emission rates into the atmosphere were statistically modeled based 

on (1) data from the U.S. DOT HMIS database; (2) container types and sizes authorized for 

transport as specified in 49 CFR §172.101 and Part 173; (3) physical properties of the individual 

materials, and (4) atmospheric data from a historical database. The emission model calculated 

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

the container, or a combination of both, as would occur for liquefied gases which can flash to 

form both a vapor/aerosol mixture and an evaporating pool. In addition, the emission model also 

calculated the emission of toxic vapor by-products generated from spilling water-reactive materials 

in water. Spills that involve releases of approximately 208 liters for liquids (55 US gallons) and 

300 kg for solids (660 pounds) or less are considered Small Spills, while spills that involve greater 

quantities are considered Large Spills. An exception to this is certain chemical warfare agents 

where Small Spills include releases up to 2 kg (4.4 lbs), and Large Spills include releases up to 

25 kg (55 lbs). These agents are BZ, CX, GA, GB, GD, GF, HD, HL, HN1, HN2, HN3, L and VX.

Downwind dispersion of the vapor was estimated for each case modeled. Atmospheric 

parameters affecting the dispersion, and the emission rate, were selected in a statistical fashion 

from a database containing hourly meteorological data from 120 cities in the United States, 

Canada and Mexico. The dispersion calculation accounted for the time dependent emission 

rate from the source as well as the 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 Table 1, “Day” refers to time periods after sunrise and before 

sunset, while “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 persons may become incapacitated and unable 

to take protective action or may incur serious health effects after a once-in-a-lifetime,

or rare, exposure. When available, toxicological exposure guidelines were chosen from AEGL-2

or ERPG-2 emergency response guidelines, with AEGL-2 values being the first choice. For 

materials that do not have AEGL-2 or ERPG-2 values, emergency response guidelines

estimated from lethal concentration limits derived from animal studies were used, as 

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 an ID Number cannot be found, 

use the Name of Material index in the blue-bordered pages to locate that number.)

•	 Found the three-digit guide for that material in order to consult the emergency 

actions recommended jointly with this table;

•	 Noted the wind direction.

(2) Look in Table 1 (the green-bordered pages) for the ID Number and Name of the Material 

involved in the incident. Some ID Numbers have more than one shipping name listed—

look for the specific name of the material. (If the shipping name is not known and Table 

1 lists more than one name for the same ID Number, use the entry with the largest 

protective action distances.)

(3) Determine if the incident involves a SMALL or LARGE spill and if DAY or NIGHT. 

Generally, a SMALL SPILL is one which involves a single, small package (e.g., a drum 

containing up to approximately 208 liters (55 US gallons)), a small cylinder, or a small 

leak from a large package. A LARGE SPILL is one which 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.

Direct all persons to move, in a crosswind 

direction, away from the spill to the distance 

specified—in meters and feet.

(5) Look up the initial PROTECTIVE ACTION DISTANCE shown in Table 1. For a given 

material, spill size, and whether day or night, Table 1 gives the downwind distance—in 

kilometers and miles— for which protective actions should be considered. For practical 

purposes, the Protective Action Zone (i.e., the area in which people are at risk of harmful 

exposure) is a square, whose length and width are the same as the downwind distance 

shown in Table 1.

(6) Initiate Protective Actions to the extent possible, beginning with those closest to

the spill site and working away from the site in the downwind direction. When a water-reactive 

TIH producing material is 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 substantial distance.

The shape of the area in which protective actions should be taken (the Protective 

Action Zone) is shown in this figure. The spill is located at the center of the small 

circle. The larger circle represents the INITIAL ISOLATION zone around the spill.

See Next Page for Table of Water-Reactive Materials Which Produce Toxic Gases
Page 344

HOW TO USE TABLE 2 – WATER-REACTIVE MATERIALS

WHICH PRODUCE TOXIC GASES

Table 2 lists materials which produce large amounts of Toxic Inhalation Hazard (TIH) gases 

when spilled in water and identifies the TIH gases produced. 

The materials are listed by ID number order.

These Water Reactive materials are easily identified in Table 1 as their name is immediately 

followed by (when spilled in water). 

 Note: Some Water Reactive materials are also TIH materials themselves

(e.g., Bromine trifluoride (1746), Thionyl chloride (1836), etc.). In these instances, 

two entries are provided in Table 1 for land-based and water-based spills.

If the Water Reactive material is NOT a TIH and this material is NOT spilled in 

water, Table 1 and Table 2 do not apply and safety distances will be found 

within the appropriate orange guide.
Use this list only when material is spilled in water. Page 345

ERG2012 USER’S GUIDE

The 2012 Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG2012) was developed jointly by Transport 

Canada (TC), the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), the Secretariat of Transport 

and Communications of Mexico (SCT) and with the collaboration of CIQUIME (Centro de 

Información Química para Emergencias) of Argentina, for use by fire fighters, police, and other 

emergency services personnel who may be the first to arrive at the scene of a transportation 

incident involving dangerous goods. It is primarily a guide to aid first responders in quickly 

identifying the specific or generic hazards of the material(s) involved in the incident, 

and protecting themselves and the general public during the initial response phase of 

the incident. For the purposes of this guidebook, the “initial response phase” is that period 

following arrival at the scene of an incident during which the presence and/or identification 

of dangerous goods is confirmed, protective actions and area securement are initiated, and 

assistance of qualified personnel is requested. It is not intended to provide information on 

the physical or chemical properties of dangerous goods.

This guidebook will assist responders in making initial decisions upon arriving at the scene 

of a dangerous goods incident. It should not be considered as a substitute for emergency 

response training, knowledge or sound judgment. ERG2012 does not address all possible 

circumstances that may be associated with a dangerous goods incident. It is primarily 

designed for use at a dangerous goods incident occurring on a highway or railroad. Be 

mindful that there may be limited value in its application at fixed facility locations.

ERG2012 incorporates dangerous goods lists from the most recent United Nations 

Recommendations as well as from other international and national regulations. Explosives 

are not listed individually by either proper shipping name or ID Number. They do, however, 

appear under the general heading “Explosives” on the first page of the ID Number index 

(yellow-bordered pages) and alphabetically in the Name of Material index (blue-bordered 

pages). Also, the letter (P) following the guide number in the yellow-bordered and bluebordered pages identifies those materials which present a polymerization hazard under 

certain conditions, for example: Acrolein, stabilized 131P.

First responders at the scene of a dangerous goods incident should seek additional specific 

information about any material in question as soon as possible. The information received 

by contacting the appropriate emergency response agency, by calling the emergency 

response telephone number on the shipping document, or by consulting the information 

on or accompanying the shipping document, may be more specific and accurate than this 

guidebook in providing guidance for the materials involved. 

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 trained 

regarding the use of this guidebook.

GUIDEBOOK CONTENTS

1-Yellow-bordered pages: Index list of dangerous goods in numerical order of ID number. 

This section quickly identifies the guide to be consulted from the ID Number of the material 

involved. This list displays the 4-digit ID number of the material followed by its assigned 

emergency response guide and the material name. 

For example: ID No. GUIDE No. Name of Material

1090 127 Acetone

2-Blue-bordered pages: Index list of dangerous goods in alphabetical order of material 

name. This section quickly identifies the guide to be consulted from the name of the material 

involved. This list displays the name of the material followed by its assigned emergency 

response guide and 4-digit ID number.

For example: Name of Material GUIDE No. ID No.

Sulfuric acid 137 1830

3-Orange-bordered pages: This section is the most important section of the guidebook 

because it is where all safety recommendations are provided. It comprises a total 

of 62 individual guides, presented in a two-page format. Each guide provides safety 

recommendations and emergency response information to protect yourself and the public. 

The left hand page provides safety related information whereas the right hand page provides 

emergency response guidance and activities for fire situations, spill or leak incidents and first 

aid. Each guide is designed to cover a group of materials which possess similar chemical 

and toxicological characteristics.

The guide title identifies the general hazards of the dangerous goods covered. 

For example: GUIDE 124 - Gases-Toxic and/or Corrosive-Oxidizing.

Each guide is divided into three main sections: the first section describes potential hazards

that the material may display in terms of fire/explosion and health effects upon exposure. 

The highest potential is listed first. The emergency responder should consult this section 

first. This allows the responder to make decisions regarding the protection of the emergency 

response team as well as the surrounding population.

The second section outlines suggested public safety measures based on the situation at 

hand. It provides general information regarding immediate isolation of the incident site, 

recommended type of protective clothing and respiratory protection. Suggested evacuation 

distances are listed for small and large spills and for fire situations (fragmentation hazard). 

It also directs the reader to consult the tables listing Toxic Inhalation Hazard (TIH) materials, 

chemical warfare agents and water-reactive materials (green-bordered pages) when the 

material is highlighted in the yellow-bordered and blue-bordered pages.

The third section covers emergency response actions, including first aid. It outlines 

special precautions for incidents which involve fire, spill or chemical exposure. Several 

recommendations are listed under each part which will further assist in the decision making

process. The information on first aid is general guidance prior to seeking medical care. 
Page 358

4-Green-bordered pages: This section contains three tables. 

Table 1 lists, by ID number order, TIH materials, including certain chemical warfare agents, 

and water-reactive materials which produce toxic gases upon contact with water. This table 

provides two different types of recommended safe distances which are "Initial isolation 

distances" and "Protective action distances". The materials are highlighted in green for easy 

identification in both numeric (yellow-bordered pages) and alphabetic (blue-bordered pages) 

lists of the guidebook. This table provides distances for both small (approximately 208 liters 

(55 US gallons) or less for liquids and 300 kilograms (660 pounds) or less for solids when 

spilled in water) and large spills (more than 208 liters (55 US gallons) for liquids and more than

300 kilograms (660 pounds) for solids when spilled in water) for all highlighted materials. The 

list is further subdivided into daytime and nighttime situations. This is necessary due to varying 

atmospheric conditions which greatly affect the size of the hazardous area. The distances 

change from daytime to nighttime due to different mixing and dispersion conditions in the air. 

During the night, the air is generally calmer and this causes the material to disperse less and 

therefore create a toxic zone which is greater than would usually occur during the day. During 

the day, a more active atmosphere will cause a greater dispersion of the material resulting 

in a lower concentration of the material in the surrounding air. The actual area where toxic 

levels are reached will be smaller (due to increased dispersion). In fact, it is the quantity or 

concentration of the material vapor that poses problems not its mere presence.

The "Initial Isolation Distance" is a distance within which all persons should be considered 

for evacuation in all directions from the actual spill/leak source. It is a distance (radius) which 

defines a circle (Initial Isolation Zone) within which persons may be exposed to dangerous 

concentrations upwind of the source and may be exposed to life threatening concentrations 

downwind of the source. For example, in the case of Compressed gas, toxic, n.o.s., ID 

No. 1955, Inhalation Hazard Zone A, the isolation distance for small spills is 100 meters

(300 feet), therefore, representing an evacuation circle of 200 meters (600 feet) in diameter. 

For the same material, the "Protective Action Distance" for a small spill is 0.5 kilometers

(0.3 mile) for a daytime incident and 2.2 kilometers (1.4 miles) for a nighttime incident, these 

distances represent a downwind distance from the spill/leak source within which Protective 

Actions could be implemented. Protective Actions are those steps taken to preserve the health 

and safety of emergency responders and the public. People in this area could be evacuated 

and/or sheltered in-place. For more information, consult pages 285 to 291.

What is a TIH? It is a gas or volatile liquid which is known to be so toxic to humans as to 

pose a hazard to health during transportation, or in the absence of adequate data on human

toxicity, is presumed to be toxic to humans because when tested on laboratory animals it has 

a Lethal Concentration 50 (LC50) value of not more than 5000 ppm.

It is important to note that even though the term zone is used, the hazard zones do not 

represent any actual area or distance. The assignment of the zones is strictly a function 

of their Lethal Concentration 50 (LC50); for example, TIH Zone A is more toxic than

Zone D. All distances which are listed in the green-bordered pages are calculated by the

use of mathematical models for each TIH material. For the assignment of hazard zones

Table 2 lists, by ID number order, materials that produce large amounts of Toxic Inhalation 

Hazard (TIH) gases when spilled in water and identifies the TIH gases produced. These Water 

Reactive materials are easily identified in Table 1 as their name is immediately followed by 

(when spilled in water). Some Water Reactive materials are also TIH materials themselves 

(e.g., Bromine trifluoride (1746), Thionyl chloride (1836), etc.). In these instances, two entries 

are provided in Table 1 for land-based and water-based spills. If the Water Reactive material 

is NOT a TIH and this material is NOT spilled in water, Table 1 and Table 2 do not apply and 

safety distances will be found within the appropriate orange-bordered guide.

Table 3 provides, by alphabetical order of material name, initial isolation and protective action 

distances for six Toxic Inhalation Hazard materials that may be more commonly encountered. 

The selected materials are:

- Ammonia, anhydrous (UN1005)

- Chlorine (UN1017)

- Ethylene oxide (UN1040)

- Hydrogen chloride (UN1050) and Hydrogen chloride, refrigerated liquid (UN2186)

- Hydrogen fluoride (UN1052)

- Sulfur dioxide/Sulphur dioxide (UN1079)

The table provides Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances for large spills (more than 

208 liters or 55 US gallons) involving different container types (therefore different volume 

capacities) for day time and night time situations and different wind speeds.

ISOLATION AND EVACUATION DISTANCES

Isolation or evacuation distances are shown in the guides (orange-bordered pages) and in 

the Table 1 - Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances (green-bordered pages). This 

may confuse users not thoroughly familiar with ERG2012.

It is important to note that some guides refer only to non-TIH materials (36 guides), some 

refer to both TIH and non-TIH materials (21 guides) and some (5 guides) refer only to TIH or

Water-reactive materials (WRM). A guide refers to both TIH and non-TIH materials (for 

example see GUIDE 131) when the following sentence appears under the title EVACUATIONSpill: “See Table 1 - Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances for highlighted materials.

For non-highlighted materials, increase, in the downwind direction, as necessary, the 

isolation distance shown under ‘PUBLIC SAFETY.’” A guide refers only to TIH or WRM 

materials (for example see GUIDE 124) when the following sentence appears under the title 

EVACUATION-Spill: “See Table 1 - Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances”. If the 

previous sentences do not appear in a guide, then this particular guide refers only to non-TIH 

materials (for example see GUIDE 128). 
Page 360

In order to identify appropriate isolation and protective action distances, use the following:

If you are dealing with a TIH/WRM/Chemical warfare material (highlighted entries in the index 

lists), the isolation and evacuation distances are found directly in the green-bordered pages. 

The guides (orange-bordered pages) also remind the user to refer to the green-bordered 

pages for evacuation specific information involving highlighted materials.

If you are dealing with a non-TIH material but the guide refers to both TIH and non-TIH 

materials, an immediate isolation distance is provided under the heading PUBLIC SAFETY 

as a precautionary measure to prevent injuries. It applies to the non-TIH materials only. In 

addition, for evacuation purposes, the guide informs the user under the title EVACUATIONSpill to increase, for non-highlighted materials, in the downwind direction, if necessary, the 

immediate isolation distance listed under “PUBLIC SAFETY”. For example, GUIDE 131 – 

Flammable Liquids-Toxic, instructs the user to: "As an immediate precautionary measure, 

isolate spill or leak area for at least 50 meters (150 feet) in all directions." In case of a large 

spill, the isolation area could be expanded from 50 meters (150 feet) to a distance deemed 

as safe by the On-scene commander and emergency responders.

If you are dealing with a non-TIH material and the guide refers only to non-TIH materials,

the immediate isolation and evacuation distances are specified as actual distances in the guide

(orange-bordered pages) and are not referenced in the green-bordered pages.

 Note 1: If an entry is highlighted in green in either the yellow-bordered or blue-bordered 

pages AND THERE IS NO FIRE, go directly to Table 1 - Initial Isolation and

Protective Action Distances (green-bordered pages) and look up the ID number

and name of material to obtain initial isolation and protective action distances.

IF THERE IS A FIRE, or IF A FIRE IS INVOLVED, ALSO CONSULT the assigned 

guide (orange-bordered pages) and apply as appropriate the evacuation information 

shown under PUBLIC SAFETY. 

 Note 2: If the name in Table 1 is shown with “When Spilled In Water”, these materials 

produce large amounts of Toxic Inhalation Hazard (TIH) gases when spilled

in water. Some Water Reactive materials are also TIH materials themselves

(e.g., Bromine trifluoride (1746), Thionyl chloride (1836), etc.). In these instances, 

two entries are provided in Table 1 for land-based and water-based spills. If the

Water Reactive material is NOT a TIH and this material is NOT spilled in water, 

Table 1 and Table 2 do not apply and safety distances will be found within the

appropriate orange-bordered guide.

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 dangerous goods.

Structural Fire Fighters’ Protective Clothing (SFPC). This category of clothing, often 

called turnout or bunker gear, means the protective clothing normally worn by fire fighters 

during structural fire fighting operations. It includes a helmet, coat, pants, boots, gloves and 

a hood to cover parts of the head not protected by the helmet and facepiece. This clothing 

must be used with full-facepiece positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). 

This protective clothing should, at a minimum, meet the OSHA Fire Brigades Standard

(29 CFR 1910.156). Structural fire fighters’ protective clothing provides limited protection from 

heat and cold, but may not provide adequate protection from the harmful vapors or liquids 

that are encountered during dangerous goods incidents. Each guide includes a statement 

about the use of SFPC in incidents involving those materials referenced by that guide. Some 

guides state that SFPC provides limited protection. In those cases, the responder wearing 

SFPC and SCBA may be able to perform an expedient, that is 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 perform this operation only if an overriding 

benefit can be gained (i.e., perform an immediate rescue, turn off a valve to control a leak, 

etc.). 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, even if one inhales 

deeply while doing heavy work. Use apparatus certified by NIOSH and the Department of 

Labor/Mine Safety and Health Administration in accordance with 42 CFR Part 84. Use it 

in accordance with the requirements for respiratory protection specified in OSHA 29 CFR 

1910.134 (Respiratory Protection) and/or 29 CFR 1910.156 (f) (Fire Brigades Standard). 

Chemical-cartridge respirators or other filtering masks are not acceptable substitutes for 

positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus. Demand-type SCBA does not meet 

the OSHA 29 CFR 1910.156 (f)(1)(i) of the Fire Brigades Standard. If it is suspected that a 

Chemical Warfare Agent (CW) is involved, the use of NIOSH-certified respirators with CBRN 

protection are highly recommended.

Chemical Protective Clothing and Equipment. Safe use of this type of protective clothing 

and equipment requires specific skills developed through training and experience. It is 

generally not available to, or used by, first responders. This type of special clothing may 

protect against one chemical, yet be readily permeated by chemicals for which it was not 

designed. Therefore, protective clothing should not be used unless it is compatible with the 

released material. This type of special clothing 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 (TECP) Suits 

or Level A* protection (OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120, Appendix A & B), and (2) Liquid-Splash 
Page 362

Protective Suits (NFPA 1992 & 1993), 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 (2011). 

No single protective clothing material will protect you from all dangerous goods. Do not 

assume any protective clothing is resistant to cold and/or heat or flame exposure unless it is 

so certified by the manufacturer (NFPA 1991 5-3 Flammability Resistance Test and 5-6 Cold 

Temperature Performance Test).

FIRE AND SPILL CONTROL

FIRE CONTROL

Water is the most common and generally most available fire extinguishing agent. Exercise 

caution in selecting a fire extinguishing method since there are many factors to be considered 

in an incident. Water may be ineffective in fighting fires involving some materials; its 

effectiveness depends greatly on the method of application.

Fires involving a spill of flammable liquids are generally controlled by applying a fire fighting 

foam to the surface of the burning material. Fighting flammable liquid fires requires foam 

concentrate which is chemically compatible with the burning material, correct mixing of the 

foam concentrate with water and air, and careful application and maintenance of the foam 

blanket. There are two general types of fire fighting foam: regular and alcohol-resistant. 

Examples of regular foam are protein-base, fluoroprotein, and aqueous film forming foam 

(AFFF). Some flammable liquids, including many petroleum products, can be controlled by 

applying regular foam. Other flammable liquids, including polar solvents (flammable liquids 

which are water soluble) such as alcohols and ketones, have different chemical properties. 

A fire involving these materials cannot be easily controlled with regular foam and requires 

application of alcohol-resistant foam. Polar-solvent fires may be difficult to control and require 

a higher foam application rate than other flammable liquid fires (see NFPA/ANSI Standards 

11 and 11A for further information). Refer to the appropriate guide to determine which type 

of foam is recommended. Although it is impossible to make specific recommendations for 

flammable liquids which have subsidiary corrosive or toxic hazards, alcohol-resistant foam 

may be effective for many of these materials. The emergency response telephone number 

on the shipping document, or the appropriate emergency response agency, should be 

contacted as soon as possible for guidance on the proper fire extinguishing agent to use. The 

final selection of the agent and method depends on many factors such as incident location, 

exposure hazards, size of the fire, environmental concerns, as well as the availability of 

extinguishing agents and equipment at the scene.

WATER REACTIVE MATERIALS

Water is sometimes used to flush spills and to reduce or direct vapors in spill situations. 

Some of the materials covered by the 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 additional technical advice can be obtained. The 

applicable guides clearly warn you of these potentially dangerous reactions. These materials 

require technical advice since

(1) water getting inside a ruptured or leaking container may cause an explosion;

(2) water may be needed to cool adjoining containers to prevent their rupturing 

(exploding) or further spread of the fires;
Page 364

(3) water may be effective in mitigating an incident involving a water-reactive 

material only if it can be applied at a sufficient flooding rate for an extended 

period; and

(4) the products from the reaction with water may be more toxic, corrosive, or 

otherwise more undesirable than the product of the fire without water applied.

When responding to an incident involving water-reactive materials, take into account the 

existing conditions such as wind, precipitation, location and accessibility to the incident, as 

well as the availability of the agents to control the fire or spill. Because there are variables 

to consider, the decision to use water on fires or spills involving water-reactive materials 

should be based on information from an authoritative source; for example, a producer of the 

material, who can be contacted through the emergency response telephone number or the 

appropriate emergency response agency.

VAPOR CONTROL

Limiting the amount of vapor released from a pool of flammable or corrosive liquids is an 

operational concern. It requires the use of proper protective clothing, specialized equipment, 

appropriate chemical agents, and skilled personnel. Before engaging in vapor control, get 

advice from an authoritative source as to the proper tactics.

There are several ways to minimize the amount of vapors escaping from pools of spilled liquids, 

such as special foams, adsorbing agents, absorbing agents, and neutralizing agents. To be 

effective, these vapor control methods must be selected for the specific material involved 

and performed in a manner that will mitigate, not worsen, the incident.

Where specific materials are known, such as at manufacturing or storage facilities, it is 

desirable for the dangerous goods response team to prearrange with the facility operators to 

select and stockpile these control agents in advance of a spill. In the field, first responders 

may not have the most effective vapor control agent for the material available. They are likely 

to have only water and only one type of fire fighting foam on their vehicles. If the available 

foam is inappropriate for use, they are likely to use water spray. Because the 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 away from the site using 

the air currents surrounding the water spray. Before using water spray or other methods 

to safely control vapor emission or to suppress ignition, obtain technical advice, based on 

specific chemical name identification.

BLEVE (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion)

The following section presents, in a two-page format, background information on

BLEVEs and includes a chart that provides important safety-related information to consider 

when confronted with this type of situation involving Liquefied Petroleum Gases (LPG), 

UN1075. LPGs include the following flammable gases; Butane, UN1011; Butylene, UN1012; 

Isobutylene, UN1055; Propylene, UN2077; Isobutane, UN1969; and Propane, UN1978.
Page 365

What are the main hazards from a BLEVE?

The main hazards from a propane or LPG BLEVE are:

- fire

- thermal radiation from the fire

- blast

- projectiles

The danger from these decreases as you move away from the BLEVE centre. The furthest 

reaching hazard is projectiles.

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 and 

application.

Minimum time to failure is based on severe torch fire impingement on the vapour space 

of 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 depending 

on 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 the 

times to failure and the times to empty. A thermal barrier can reduce the heat input to a tank 

by a factor of ten or more. This means it could take ten times as long to empty the tank 

through 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 is 

most common for horizontal cylinders. The preferred evacuation distance has more margin 

of 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 tank metal.

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.

CRIMINAL/TERRORIST USE OF CHEMICAL/BIOLOGICAL/RADIOLOGICAL AGENTS

The following is intended to supply information to first responders for use in making a 

preliminary assessment of a situation that they suspect involves criminal/terrorist use of 

chemical, biological agents and/or radioactive materials (CBRN). To aid in the assessment, a 

list of observable indicators of the use and/or presence of a CB agent or radioactive material 

is provided in the following paragraphs. This section ends with a Safe Standoff Distance Chart 

for various threats when Improvised Explosive Devices 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, using conventional (garden) spray devices, or as 

elaborate as detonating an improvised explosive device.

Chemical Incidents are characterized by the rapid onset of medical symptoms (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 

and colorless. Because of the delayed onset of symptoms in a biological incident, the area 

affected may be greater due to the movement of infected individuals.

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 required to determine the size 

of the affected area, and whether the level of radioactivity presents an immediate or longterm health hazard. Because radioactivity is not detectable without special equipment, the 

affected area may be greater due to the migration of contaminated individuals.

At the levels created by most probable sources, not enough radiation would be generated 

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 dispersed in the air could contaminate up to several city blocks, creating 

fear and possibly panic, and requiring 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/shore line for 

dead insects. If near water, check for dead fish/aquatic 

birds.
Page 369

INDICATORS OF A POSSIBLE CHEMICAL INCIDENT (Continued)

Unexplained odors Smells may range from fruity to flowery to sharp/pungent 

to garlic/ horseradish-like to bitter almonds/peach kernels 

to new mown hay. It is important to note that the particular 

odor is completely out of character with its surroundings.

Unusual numbers of dying or Health problems including nausea, disorientation, difficulty

sick people (mass casualties) in breathing, convulsions, localized sweating, conjunctivitis 

(reddening of eyes/nerve agent symptoms), erythema 

(reddening of skin/vesicant symptoms) and death.

Pattern of casualties Casualties will likely be distributed downwind, or if indoors, 

by the air ventilation system.

Blisters/rashes Numerous individuals experiencing unexplained water-like 

blisters, 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 exhibit oily droplets/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, or 

withered. (No current drought.)

Low-lying clouds Low-lying cloud/fog-like condition that is not consistent 

with its surroundings.

Unusual metal debris Unexplained bomb/munitions-like material, especially if it 

contains a liquid.

INDICATORS OF A POSSIBLE BIOLOGICAL INCIDENT

Unusual numbers of sick or Any number of symptoms may occur. Casualties may

dying people or animals occur hours to days after an incident has occurred. The 

time required before symptoms are observed is dependent 

on the agent used.

Unscheduled and unusual Especially if outdoors during periods of darkness.

Abandoned spray devices Devices may not have distinct odors.

INDICATORS OF A POSSIBLE RADIOLOGICAL INCIDENT

Radiation Symbols Containers may display a “propeller” radiation symbol.

Unusual metal debris Unexplained bomb/munitions-like material.
Page 370

INDICATORS OF A POSSIBLE RADIOLOGICAL INCIDENT (continued)

Heat-emitting material Material that is hot or seems to emit heat without any sign 

of an external heat source.

Glowing material Strongly radioactive material may emit or cause 

radioluminescence.

Sick people/animals 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 are 

observed is dependent on the radioactive material used, 

and the dose received. Possible symptoms include skin 

reddening or vomiting.

PERSONAL SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

When approaching a scene that may involve CB agents or radioactive materials, the most 

critical consideration is the safety of oneself and other responders. Protective clothing and 

respiratory protection of appropriate level of safety must be used. In incidents where it is 

suspected that CBRN materials have been used as weapons, NIOSH-certified respirators with 

CBRN protection are highly recommended. Be aware that the presence and identification of 

CB agents or radioactive materials may not be verifiable, especially in the case of biological 

or radiological agents. The following actions/measures to be considered are applicable to 

either a chemical, biological or radiological incident. The guidance is general in nature, not 

all encompassing, and its applicability should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Approach and response strategies. Protect yourself and use a safe approach (minimize 

any exposure time, maximize the distance between you and the item that is likely to harm you, 

use cover as protection and wear appropriate personal protective equipment and respiratory 

protection). Identify and estimate the hazard by using indicators as provided above. Isolate 

the area and secure the scene; potentially contaminated people should be isolated and 

decontaminated 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 is 

not necessarily an indication of reduced vapor concentrations. Some chemicals deaden the 

senses giving 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, responder personnel should be equipped

with radiation detection equipment that would alert them if they are entering a radiologically 

compromised environment, and should have received adequate training in its use. This 

equipment should be designed in such a way that it can also alert the responders when an 

unacceptable ambient dose rate or ambient dose has been reached.
Page 371

Initial actions to consider in a potential CBRN/Hazmat 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/containers.

•	Be cautious regarding 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 individuals potentially exposed to dangerous goods/hazardous 

materials.

•	Isolate contaminated areas and secure the scene for analysis of material.

Decontamination measures. 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 (soap and water). If biological agents are 

involved or suspected, careful washing and use of a brush are more effective. If chemical 

agents are suspected, the most important and effective decontamination will be the one done 

within the first one or two minutes. If possible, further decontamination should be performed 

using a 0.5% hypochlorite solution (1 part household bleach mixed with 9 parts water). 

If biological agents are suspected, a contact time of 10 to 15 minutes should be allowed 

before rinsing. The solution can be used on soft tissue wounds, but must not be used in 

eyes or open wounds of the abdomen, chest, head, or spine. For further information contact 

the agencies listed in this guidebook.

For persons contaminated with radioactive material, remove them to a low radiation area if 

necessary. Remove their clothing and place it in a clearly marked sealed receptacle, such 

as a plastic bag, for later testing. Use decontamination methods described above, but avoid 

breaking the skin, e.g., from shaving, or overly vigorous brushing. External radiological 

contamination on intact skin surface rarely causes a high enough dose to be a hazard to 

either the contaminated person or the first responders. For this reason, except in very unusual 

circumstances, an injured person who is also radiologically contaminated should be medically 

stabilized, taking care to minimize the spread of the contamination to the extent possible, 

before decontamination measures are initiated.

(Canada), the U.S. Department of the Army, Aberdeen Proving Ground and the 

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

suitcase bomb are assumed to have a fragmentation characteristic that requires greater standoff distances than an 

equal amount of explosives in a vehicle.

4 Assuming efficient mixing of the flammable gas with ambient air.

5 Determined by U.S. firefighting practices wherein safe distances are approximately 4 times the flame height. Note

that an LPG tank filled with high explosives would require a significantly greater standoff distance than if it were filled

with LPG.

Glossary

AEGL(s) Acute Exposure Guideline Level(s), AEGLs represent threshold 

exposure limits for the general public after a once-in-alifetime, or rare, exposure and are applicable to emergency 

exposure periods ranging from 10 minutes to 8 hours. Three 

levels AEGL-1, AEGL-2 and AEGL-3 are developed for 

each of five exposure periods (10 and 30 minutes, 1 hour,

4 hours, and 8 hours) and are distinguished by varying degrees 

of severity of toxic effects; see AEGL-1, AEGL-2 and AEGL-3.

AEGL-1 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 notable 

discomfort, irritation, or certain asymptomatic, non-sensory 

effects. However, the effects are not disabling and are transient 

and reversible upon cessation of exposure.

AEGL-2 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 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.

Alcohol resistant foam A foam that is resistant to “polar” chemicals such as ketones and 

esters which may break down other types of foam.

Biological agents Living organisms that cause disease, sickness and mortality in 

humans. Anthrax and Ebola are examples of biological agents. 

Refer to GUIDE 158.

Blister agents (vesicants) Substances that cause blistering of the skin. Exposure is 

through liquid or vapor contact with any exposed tissue 

(eyes, skin, lungs). Mustard (H), Distilled Mustard (HD), 

Nitrogen Mustard (HN) and Lewisite (L) are blister agents. 

Symptoms: Red eyes, skin irritation, burning of skin, blisters, 

upper respiratory damage, cough, hoarseness.
Page 375

Glossary

Blood agents Substances that injure a person by interfering with cell

respiration (the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide

between blood and tissues). Hydrogen cyanide (AC)

and Cyanogen chloride (CK) are blood agents.

 Symptoms: Respiratory distress, headache, unresponsiveness, 

seizures, coma.

Burn Refers to either a chemical or thermal burn, the former may 

be caused by corrosive substances and the latter by liquefied 

cryogenic gases, hot molten substances, or flames.

CBRN Chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear warfare agent.

Choking agents Substances that cause physical injury to the lungs. 

Exposure is through inhalation. In extreme cases, membranes 

swell and lungs become filled with liquid (pulmonary 

edema). Death results from lack of oxygen; hence, the 

victim is “choked”. Phosgene (CG) is a choking agent.

Symptoms: Irritation to eyes/nose/throat, respiratory distress, 

nausea and vomiting, burning of exposed skin.

CO2 Carbon dioxide gas.

Cold zone Area where the command post and support functions that are 

necessary to control the incident are located. This is also 

referred to as the clean zone, green zone or support zone in 

other documents. (EPA Standard Operating Safety Guidelines, 

OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120, NFPA 472)

Combustible liquid Liquids which have a flash point greater than 60o

C (140oF) and 

below 93oC (200oF). U.S. regulations permit a flammable liquid 

with a flash point between 38oC (100oF) and 60oC (140oF) to be 

reclassed as a combustible liquid.

Compatibility Group Letters identify explosives that are deemed to be compatible. 

The definition of these Compatibility Groups in this Glossary are 

intended to be descriptive. Please consult the transportation of 

dangerous goods/hazardous materials or explosives regulations 

of your jurisdiction for the exact wording of the definitions.

Class 1 materials are considered to be “compatible” if they can 

be transported together without significantly increasing either the 

probability of an incident or, for a given quantity, the magnitude 

of the effects of such an incident.

A Substances which are expected to mass detonate very 

soon after fire reaches them.
Page 376

Glossary

B Articles which are expected to mass detonate very soon 

after fire reaches them.

C Substances or articles which may be readily ignited and 

burn violently without necessarily exploding.

D Substances or articles which may mass detonate (with 

blast and/or fragment hazard) when exposed to fire.

E&F Articles which may mass detonate in a fire.

G Substances and articles which may mass explode and 

give off smoke or toxic gases.

H Articles which in a fire may eject hazardous projectiles 

and dense white smoke.

J Articles which may mass explode.

K Articles which in a fire may eject hazardous projectiles 

and toxic gases.

L Substances and articles which present a special risk and 

could be activated by exposure to air or water.

N Articles which contain only extremely insensitive 

detonating substances and demonstrate a negligible 

probability of accidental ignition or propagation.

S Packaged substances or articles which, if accidentally 

initiated, produce effects that are usually confined to the 

immediate vicinity.

Control zones Designated areas at dangerous goods incidents, based on 

safety and the degree of hazard. Many terms are used to 

describe control zones; however, in this guidebook, these zones 

are defined as the hot/exclusion/red/restricted zone, warm/

contamination reduction/yellow/limited access zone, and cold/

support/green/clean zone. (EPA Standard Operating Safety 

Guidelines, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120, NFPA 472)

Cryogenic liquid A refrigerated, liquefied gas that has a boiling point colder than 

-90o

C (-130oF) at atmospheric pressure.

Dangerous Water Produces significant toxic gas when it comes in contact with

Reactive Material water. 

Decomposition products Products of a chemical or thermal break-down of a substance.
Page 377

Glossary

Decontamination The removal of dangerous goods from personnel and equipment 

to the extent necessary to prevent potential adverse health effects. 

Always avoid direct or indirect contact with dangerous goods; 

however, if contact occurs, personnel should be decontaminated 

as soon as possible. Since the methods used to decontaminate 

personnel and equipment differ from one chemical to another, 

contact the chemical manufacturer, through the agencies listed 

on the inside back cover, to determine the appropriate procedure. 

Contaminated clothing and equipment should be removed 

after use and stored in a controlled area (warm/contamination 

reduction/yellow/limited access zone) until cleanup procedures 

can be initiated. In some cases, protective clothing and equipment 

cannot be decontaminated and must be disposed of in a proper 

manner.

Dry chemical A preparation designed for fighting fires involving flammable liquids, 

pyrophoric substances and electrical equipment. Common types 

contain sodium bicarbonate or potassium bicarbonate.

Edema The accumulation of an excessive amount of watery fluid in cells 

and tissues. Pulmonary edema is an excessive buildup of water 

in the lungs, for instance, after inhalation of a gas that is corrosive 

to lung tissue.

ERPG(s) Emergency Response Planning Guideline(s). Values intended 

to provide estimates of concentration ranges above which one 

could reasonably anticipate observing adverse health effects; 

see ERPG-1, ERPG-2 and ERPG-3.

ERPG-1 The maximum airborne concentration below which it is believed 

nearly all individuals could be exposed for up to 1 hour without 

experiencing more than mild, transient adverse health effects or 

without perceiving a clearly defined objectionable odor.

ERPG-2 The maximum airborne concentration below which it is believed 

nearly all individuals could be exposed for up to 1 hour without 

experiencing or developing irreversible or other serious health 

effects or symptoms that could impair an individual’s ability to 

take protective action.

ERPG-3 The maximum airborne concentration below which it is believed 

nearly all individuals could be exposed for up to 1 hour without 

experiencing or developing life-threatening health effects.

Flammable liquid A liquid that has a flash point of 60o

C (140oF) or lower.
Page 378

Glossary

Flash point Lowest temperature at which a liquid or solid gives off vapor in 

such a concentration that, when the vapor combines with air near 

the surface of the liquid or solid, a flammable mixture is formed. 

Hence, the lower the flash point, the more flammable the material.

Hazard zones HAZARD ZONE A: Gases: LC50 of less than or equal to

(Inhalation Hazard 200 ppm, 

Zones) Liquids: V equal to or greater than 500

LC50 and LC50 less than or equal to

200 ppm, 

HAZARD ZONE B: Gases: LC50 greater than 200 ppm 

and less than or equal to 1000 ppm,

Liquids: V equal to or greater than

10 LC50; LC50 less than or equal to

1000 ppm and criteria for Hazard Zone A 

are not met.

HAZARD ZONE C: LC50 greater than 1000 ppm and less than 

or equal to 3000 ppm,

HAZARD ZONE D: LC50 greater than 3000 ppm and less than 

or equal to 5000 ppm.

Hot zone Area immediately surrounding a dangerous goods incident which 

extends far enough to prevent adverse effects from released 

dangerous goods to personnel outside the zone. This zone is 

also referred to as exclusion zone, red zone or restricted zone in 

other documents. (EPA Standard Operating Safety Guidelines, 

OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120, NFPA 472)

IED See “Improvised Explosive Device”.

Immiscible In this guidebook, means that a material does not mix readily with 

water.

Improvised Explosive A bomb that is manufactured from commercial, military or

Device homemade explosives.

Large spill A spill that involves quantities that are greater than 208 liters 

(55 US gallons) for liquids and greater than 300 kilograms

(660 pounds) for solids.

LC50 Lethal concentration 50. The concentration of a material 

administered by inhalation that is expected to cause the death 

of 50% of an experimental animal population within a specified 

time. (Concentration is reported in either ppm or mg/m3

)
Page 379

Glossary

Mass explosion Explosion which affects almost the entire load virtually instantaneously.

mg/m3 Milligrams of a material per cubic meter of air.

Miscible In this guidebook, means that a material mixes readily with water.

mL/m3 Milliliters of a material per cubic meter of air. (1 mL/m3 equals

1 ppm)

Nerve agents Substances that interfere with the central nervous system. 

Exposure is primarily through contact with the liquid (via skin 

and eyes) and secondarily through inhalation of the vapor. 

Tabun (GA), Sarin (GB), Soman (GD) and VX are nerve agents. 

Symptoms: Pinpoint pupils, extreme headache, severe 

tightness in the chest, dyspnea, runny nose, coughing, salivation, 

unresponsiveness, seizures.

Non-polar See “Immiscible”.

n.o.s. These letters refer to “not otherwise specified”. The entries 

which use this description are generic names such as “Corrosive 

liquid, n.o.s.” This means that the actual chemical name for that 

corrosive liquid is not listed in the regulations; therefore, a generic 

name must be used to describe it on shipping papers.

Noxious In this guidebook, means that a material may be harmful or 

injurious to health or physical well-being.

Oxidizer A chemical which supplies its own oxygen and which helps other 

combustible material burn more readily.

P The letter (P) following a guide number in the yellow-bordered and 

blue-bordered pages identifies a material which may polymerize 

violently under high temperature conditions or contamination with 

other products. It is used to identify materials that have a strong 

potential for polymerization in the absence of an inhibitor or due 

to the inhibitor depletion caused by the accident conditions. This 

polymerization will produce heat and high pressure buildup in 

containers which may explode or rupture. (See polymerization 

below)

Packing Group The Packing Group (PG) is assigned based on the degree of 

danger presented by the hazardous material:

PG I : Great danger

PG II : Medium danger

PG III : Minor danger
Page 380

Glossary

PG See Packing Group

pH pH is a value that represents the acidity or alkalinity of a water 

solution. Pure water has a pH of 7. A pH value below 7 indicates 

an acid solution (a pH of 1 is extremely acidic). A pH above 7 

indicates an alkaline solution (a pH of 14 is extremely alkaline). 

Acids and alkalies (bases) are commonly referred to as corrosive 

materials.

PIH Poison Inhalation Hazard. Term used to describe gases and 

volatile liquids that are toxic when inhaled. (Same as TIH)

Polar See “Miscible”.

Polymerization This term describes a chemical reaction which is generally 

associated with the production of plastic substances. Basically, 

the individual molecules of the chemical (liquid or gas) react with 

each other to produce what can be described as a long chain. 

These chains can be formed in many useful applications. A well 

known example is the styrofoam (polystyrene) coffee cup which 

is formed when liquid molecules of styrene react with each other 

or polymerize forming a solid, therefore changing the name from 

styrene to polystyrene (poly means many).

ppm Parts per million. (1 ppm equals 1 mL/m3

)

Protective clothing Includes both respiratory and physical protection. One cannot 

assign a level of protection to clothing or respiratory devices 

separately. These levels were accepted and defined by response 

organizations such as U.S. Coast Guard, NIOSH, and U.S. EPA.

Level A: SCBA plus totally encapsulating chemical resistant 

clothing (permeation resistant).

Level B: SCBA plus hooded chemical resistant clothing (splash 

suit).

Level C: Full or half-face respirator plus hooded chemical 

resistant clothing (splash suit).

Level D: Coverall with no respiratory protection. 

Pyrophoric A material which ignites spontaneously upon exposure to air (or oxygen).
Page 381

Glossary

Radiation Authority As referred to in GUIDES 161 through 166 for radioactive materials, 

the Radiation Authority is either a Federal, state/provincial agency 

or state/province designated official. The responsibilities of this 

authority include evaluating radiological hazard conditions during 

normal operations and during emergencies. If the identity and 

telephone number of the authority are not known by emergency 

responders, or included in the local response plan, the information 

can be obtained from the agencies listed on the inside back cover. 

They maintain a periodically updated list of radiation authorities.

Radioactivity The property of some substances to emit invisible and potentially 

harmful radiation.

Refrigerated liquid See “Cryogenic liquid”.

Small spill A spill that involves quantities that are less than 208 liters

(55 U.S. Gallons) for liquids and less than 300 kilograms

(660 pounds) for solids.

Straight (solid) stream Method used to apply or distribute water from the end of a 

hose. The water is delivered under pressure for penetration. In 

an efficient straight (solid) stream, approximately 90% of the 

water passes through an imaginary circle 38 cm (15 inches) in 

diameter 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 from 

danger points. However, straight streams will cause a spill fire to 

spread if improperly used or when directed into open containers 

of flammable and combustible liquids.

TIH Toxic Inhalation Hazard. Term used to describe gases and volatile 

liquids that are toxic when inhaled. (Same as PIH)

V Saturated vapor concentration in air of a material in mL/m3

(volatility) at 20oC 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 is 

heavier than air and may travel along the ground.

Vapor pressure Pressure at which a liquid and its vapor are in equilibrium at a 

given temperature. Liquids with high vapor pressures evaporate 

rapidly.
Page 382

Glossary

Viscosity Measure of a liquid’s internal resistance to flow. This property is 

important 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 and equipment 

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 in other documents. (EPA 

Standard Operating Safety Guidelines, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120, 

NFPA 472)

Water-sensitive Substances which may produce flammable and/or toxic 

decomposition products upon contact with water.

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 to 

provide 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 to 

accomplish any of the above).

Water spray is particularly effective on fires of flammable liquids 

and volatile solids having flash points above 37.8o

C (100oF).

Regardless of the above, water spray can be used successfully on 

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 success in 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.
