Which group is ERI guidance intended for in the event of an incident?

• A. Shippers.
• B. First responders.
• C. Passengers.
• D. Pilots.

Answer: (B)

Emergency Response Information guidance is designed for those who arrive at the scene of a dangerous goods incident—first responders such as firefighters, police, and emergency medical services. It provides quick, actionable details about the hazardous material involved (type of hazard, required protective measures, initial actions to take, and emergency contacts) so responders can protect themselves and manage the incident effectively. Shippers are the ones who prepare and provide this information, but the guidance itself is meant to be used by responders on site. Passengers and pilots aren’t the primary audience for ERI; their needs are addressed by other safety procedures and incident protocols.
