The 2008 Emergency Response Guidebook is available on CD. All of the information appears on the computer screen, and when printed looks exactly as it does in the guidebook issued by the US Department of Transportation, Transport Canada and Secretariat of Transport and Communications in Mexico.

Navigating through the information is quick and easy. The user is able to go immediately to a specific section and return using bookmarks with simple point and click operations. Extensive hyperlinks in the Identification Number Index, Index of Chemical Names, and the Table of Isolation and Protective Action Distances make for easy browsing. In addition, if the hazardous material is a toxic inhalation hazard (TIH) material, the identification number preceding the guide number in both the Identification Number Index and Index of Chemical Names is in red and linked to the information in the Table of Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances. If the material is water reactive, the identification number in the Table of Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances is in red and linked to the entry in the List of Dangerous Water-Reactive Materials. Users have full search capabilities throughout the CD. The CD also includes high-quality graphics of all the US Department of Transportation colored placards. The placards can be copied and pasted in other documents for customized training programs.
