Which pages contain identification numbers in the ERG?

• A. Yellow pages
• B. Blue pages
• C. White pages
• D. Orange bordered pages

Answer: (A)

UN numbers are the identification numbers used for hazardous materials, and the yellow pages of the ERG are organized as the UN-number index. This arrangement lets responders quickly match a UN number found on a placard or shipping paper to the correct material entry, then turn to the orange pages for the material’s Emergency Action Guide and detailed actions. The other color sections serve different purposes, but they are not the place to look up UN numbers.
