This app contains a searchable subset of the ERG2012. It gives you fast access
to the Yellow (Substances by ID) and Orange (Guides) sections, with protective
distances (from Table 1) where applicable.

Enter -- or just say! -- the four digit number from the DOT placard off the
side of a tanker truck or railroad card to find out what material is stored
inside. From there, one click will take you to the page in the Department of
Transportation Emergency Response Guidebook 2012 (DOT ERG 2012) that gives you
details on toxicity, flammability, and what to do in case of a spill.
Protective distances are available where applicable.

Alternatively, you can search for a substance by name or enter the Guide
Number directly and get straight to the same emergency response instructions.

Sure, the ERG2012 is available on paper and on the web. But don't you want to
have it right at hand and right on your phone when you need it most?

This Plus version of our free DOT Placards app lets you keep a 'life list' of
when and where you were when you saw a particular placard. You can review your
list sorted in different ways or displayed against a zoomable Google map.

Ad free, requires location and network communications permissions. These are
needed to auto-locate your placards on the map and access voice recognition
service.

Do you or your colleagues have non-Android mobile devices? An expanded Kindle
ebook version of this app is now available from the Amazon store. It includes
a similar quick-lookup capability but also all the content of the paper book.
When combined with one of the free Kindle Reading apps, it makes this material
available on just about any mobile device you might have. Go to Amazon and
search for 'ERG 2012: Quick Lookup'.
