locate the guide number necessary. The potential hazards section indicates the product's health
effects and fire/explosion hazards. The public safety section indicates the public safety
measures that should be taken in the event of a release and addresses isolation distances as
well as personal protective clothing and respiratory recommendations.
Orange right-handed page - Answer✔The emergency response is the last section of the orange
portion of the ERG.
