Which of the following is NOT a role of the Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG)?

The Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) is designed to assist emergency responders during the initial phases of an incident involving hazardous materials. Its primary roles include identifying hazardous substances, providing guidance on managing incidents, and offering basic first aid procedures for exposure or incidents related to those materials.

While the ERG effectively identifies hazardous materials and outlines procedures for managing emergencies, it does not serve as a comprehensive driver’s training manual. Drivers handling hazardous materials need specific training related to safety practices for transportation, vehicle operation, and compliance with regulations, which is typically provided through other training programs and materials. The focus of the ERG is primarily on emergency response rather than the day-to-day operational training for drivers.
