The ERG contains an indexed list of dangerous goods and the associated ID number, the general hazards they pose and recommended safety precautions. For example, if emergency responders arrive at the scene of an overturned tractor trailer displaying a DOT hazmat placard, they would use the guide to identify the material associated with the placard and get guidance on how to respond accordingly.
The 2016 version of the ERG includes general revisions, reorganized general information pages and the addition of protective distance mapping. Updated every four years, the ERG is available free to public safety agencies in all states and territories through designated state coordinators’ offices. PHMSA has partnered with the National Library of Medicine to provide this free application as well as a version of the ERG in its Wireless Information System for Emergency Responders (WISER) application.

Look Up Truck Placard Codes
PBIPhotobug
This makes it easy to look up the placard numbers you see on tank trucks, etc to see what they are carrying. That way those of you who love to tailgate because you failed grade school science and have no idea why physics says tailgating is a bad practice can see which trucks you REALLY don't want to be too close to. A native iPad version would get 5 stars...
No more need for the book

Love having the app on my phone. Great guide. Easy to locate materials. Would like to see a quick phone number guide on the front page in case of an emergency.
Double Purchase
Flyendutchman
This indicates it is compatible with iPhone AND iPad. I initially purchased and expected it to be downloadble for both. Instead I had to pay for iPad version also! This shouldnt require DOUBLE Purchase unless clearly specified!!!! I want to use both and a refund for one!!!
