In the ERG, if a material entry is highlighted and there is no fire involved, which section should be consulted directly?

• A. Orange-bordered section
• B. Blue-bordered section
• C. Green-bordered section
• D. Yellow-bordered section

Answer: (C)

In the ERG, the color‑coded sections guide you to the right type of information based on the incident scenario. If a material entry is highlighted and there’s no fire involved, you go directly to the green‑bordered section because it covers spills or leaks without fire. That section provides guidance for non‑fire releases—protective actions, isolation distances, and containment or stabilization steps appropriate for a liquid or gas release without combustion. The blue‑bordered area is focused more on actions related to fires or potential fires, the orange section houses the material’s specific guide information, and the yellow area offers general hazard information not tailored to on‑scene actions for a non‑fire release. So the green-bordered section is the most direct source for a non‑fire scenario with a highlighted entry.
