Just a note, the ERG HAZMAT 2008 is searchabl
e on line as well. This is a guide used primarily in Hazardous Mater

h hazard types used by emergency responders, as well as a table available f
or RQ, reportable quantities. It is an EPA and DOT guide used along with OSHA and CFR 49 standards. Thanks for this opportunity. Jennifer A. Summer Chem Tech II student STLCC Florissant Valley < br>--- On Thu, 1/14/10, ILPI <info**At_Symbol_Here**ILPI.COM> wrote:
