Designed for the emergency responder, this publication provides detailed chemical identification and emergency response information for more than 264 chemicals that are shipped primarily in bulk in North America by rail or highway. Information on each chemical is self-contained on its own separate insert in a 3-ring binder format for easy removal and use at the response scene.

Each page contains detailed information which includes the applicable DOT colored placard and National Fire Protection Diamond, chemical physical properties, protective equipment, emergency first-aid, and various spill mitigation techniques and consequences. This information is crucial to the emergency responder technician who is forced to make response decisions that may affect people, property, and the environment.
