True or False: The blue section of the ERG lists the shipping names of hazardous materials.

• A. False
• B. Not applicable
• C. Cannot determine
• D. True

Answer: (D)

The blue section serves as the shipping-name index. It lists the proper shipping names for hazardous materials alphabetically and links them to their UN numbers (and the corresponding guide numbers in the orange section). This is the part you use when you know or see the shipping name on a label or placard and need to confirm exactly what material you’re dealing with. By finding the shipping name in the blue pages, you can verify the material and then go to the appropriate guide in the orange section for specific emergency actions, hazards, and response steps. So the blue pages are specifically designed to list shipping names, making the statement true.
