Included in each copy of Hazardous Materials Awareness and Operations is the Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) training DVD. The DVD was developed by the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) under a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). The companion training DVD is a guide to aid first responders in the use of the ERG in order to quickly identify the specific or generic hazards of the material(s) involved in an accident, and to protect themselves and the general public during the initial response phase of an accident. Additional features of the ERG training DVD are:

• ERG training module—Familiarizes students with the ERG, including how to use it.
• Instructor’s edition—Provides a review section to reinforce key concepts covered in the DVD.
• Interviewers—Hazardous Materials Responders provide real life experiences on the effectiveness of understanding the ERG.
• Closed captions (CC)—Subtitles are available and can be turned on or off.
