In the ERG page colors, which color provides general information?

• A. White - General information
• B. Yellow - Index list by number
• C. Blue - Index list by Name
• D. Orange - Safety recommendations and response

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that the ERG organizes information by color so responders can quickly find what they need in a hazmat incident. White pages hold general information that applies to any incident—things like how to use the guide, general safety guidelines, and common emergency numbers. The other colors serve specific indexing or action roles: Yellow pages index by UN/NA numbers to locate the right material guide, Blue pages index by chemical name, and Orange pages provide safety recommendations and response actions for various scenarios. Because general, non-chemical-specific guidance belongs with general information, the color for that is White.
