Course Regulation

• (q)(6): Training. Training shall be based on the duties and function to be performed by each responder of an emergency response organization. The skill and knowledge levels required for all new responders, those hired after the effective date of this standard, shall be conveyed to them through training before they are permitted to take part in actual emergency operations on an incident. Employees who participate, or are expected to participate, in emergency response, shall be given training in accordance with the following paragraphs:
• (q)(6)(iii): Hazardous materials technician. Hazardous materials technicians are individuals who respond to releases or potential releases for the purpose of stopping the release.

Hazardous materials technicians shall have received at least 24 hours of training equal to the first responder operations level and in addition have competency in the following areas and the employer shall so certify.:
  1. Know how to implement the employer’s emergency response plan;
  2. Know the classification, identification and verification of known and unknown materials by using field survey instruments and equipment;
  3. Be able to function within an assigned role in the Incident Command System;

DOT Emergency Response Guidebook

This Guidebook 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.

The Emergency Response Guidebook is updated every three to four years to accommodate new products and technology.

Use this DOT-issued guidebook to help you satisfy DOT's requirement that Hazmat shipments be accompanied by emergency response information (49 CFR Section 172.600).

2020 Emergency Response Guidebook Summary of Changes from 2016 ERG:

• Reviewed the guidebook and changed these sections to make them easier to read and understand
• Added a new decontamination section to describe basic contamination theory and proper decontamination techniques.
• Reworked the BLEVE section into the BLEVE and Heat Induced Tear section. This section now shows the cause and hazards of BLEVEs and Heat Induced Tears.
• Expanded Rail Car Identification Chart and Road Trailer Identification Chart to two pages each.
• Updated Table 1 and Table 3 based on new TIH data and reactivity research.
• Added Lithium battery label and marking, and gasoline placard to the Table of Markings, Labels, and Placards.
Added New terms and their definitions to the Glossary.
• Basic information on Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) in the Criminal or Terrorist Use of Chemical, Biological and Radiological Agents section.
• Added A top view illustration of the TC117/DOT117 to the Rail Car Identification Chart.
• Added Illustration of an Intermodal Freight Container to the Road Trailer Identification Chart.
• Improved the illustrations in the Rail Car and Road Trailer Identification Charts.
• Added fifteen new materials (UN3535 to UN3549) listed in the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (up to the 21st revised edition).
• Re-evaluated the polymerization hazard criteria for some high-risk materials, and added the polymerization marking (P) to 13 materials
• Re-analyzed the chemical properties of many materials to make sure that they’re assigned to the appropriate Orange Guide. Also moved thirty-four materials to a different Orange Guide.
• Added an introduction called “How to use the Orange Guides”. This new section explains the 4 parts of an Orange Guide. In this section, the terms “evacuate” and “isolate” are defined
