What information is NOT typically found in the ERG?

The Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) serves as a crucial resource for first responders dealing with hazardous materials incidents. It is designed to provide immediate guidance on how to respond to various emergencies involving dangerous substances.

In the context of the ERG, human resources policies are not relevant to emergency response situations and do not pertain to the specifics of hazardous materials management or incident response. The contents of the ERG focus on identifying hazardous materials, outlining emergency response procedures, and providing information on spill containment measures. These aspects are critical for ensuring that responders can act effectively and safely during emergencies involving dangerous goods.

Human resources policies typically cover organizational guidelines related to employment, workplace conduct, and personnel management—areas that, while important for the functioning of any organization, do not directly aid in responding to hazardous material emergencies. Therefore, it makes sense that this information would not be included in the ERG, as its primary focus is on public safety and immediate response actions rather than internal organizational policy.
