The next two pages display the placards used on transport vehicles carrying dangerous goods with the applicable reference GUIDE circled. Follow these steps: 1. Approach scene from upwind, uphill or upstream at a safe distance to safely identify and/or read the placard or orange panel. Use binoculars if available. 2. Match the vehicle placard(s) with one of the placards displayed on the next two pages. 3. Consult the circled guide number associated with the placard. Use that guide information for now. For example: • Use GUIDE 127 for a FLAMMABLE (Class 3) placard • Use GUIDE 153 for a CORROSIVE (Class 8) placard • Use GUIDE 111 when the MIXED / DANGEROUS placard is displayed or the nature of the spilled, leaking or burning material is not known. Also use this GUIDE when the presence of dangerous goods is suspected but no placards can be seen. If multiple placards point to more than one guide, initially use the most conservative guide (i.e., the guide requiring the greatest degree of protective actions). 4. Guides associated with the placards provide the most significant risk and/or hazard information. 5. When specific information, such as UN number or proper shipping name, becomes available, the more specific Guide recommended for that material must be consulted. 6. A single asterisk (*) on orange placards represent an explosive's compatibility group letter. The asterisk must be replaced with the appropriate compatibility group letter. Refer to the Glossary (page 372). 7. Double asterisks (**) on orange placards represent the division of the explosive. The double asterisks must be replaced with the appropriate division number.

CAP is established under state and territory legislation derived from the national Model Legislation – Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road or Rail. AERG2018 is made available free of charge and approved by CAP as emergency information satisfying the requirements of Chapter 11.2 of the Australian Code for the Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road and Rail (ADG Code). AERG2018 is substantially based on the CANUTEC 2016 Emergency Response Guidebook developed jointly by Transport Canada (TC), the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), the Secretariat of Transport and Communications of Mexico (SCT) and with the collaboration of CIQUIME (Centro de Informaciòn Quìmica para Emergencias) of Argentina. While the basic structure of the CANUTEC 2016 ERG has been retained, the following modifications have been made to ensure an appropriate fit for the Australian and New Zealand context: • Modify spelling and measurements to suit Australia and New Zealand • Inclusion of a guide for responding to a vehicle fire • Modification of guides relating to Ammonium Nitrate to reflect the requirement for increased isolation distances and when to treat as an explosive • Removal or modification of technical information specific to Canada, North America and South America AERG2018 is primarily a guide to aid first responders in quickly identifying the specific or generic hazards of the material involved in the incident, and protecting themselves and the general public during the initial response phase of the incident. This guidebook will assist responders in making initial decisions upon arriving at the scene of a dangerous goods incident. It should not be considered as a substitute for emergency response training, knowledge or sound judgment. AERG2018 does not address all possible circumstances that may be associated with a dangerous goods incident. It is primarily designed for use at a dangerous goods incident occurring on a highway or railroad. The AERG2018 is not intended for responding to incidents at fixed facility locations. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS CAP gratefully acknowledges the efforts of Toll Holdings Limited, in particular Debra Kirk, to prepare the first version of AERG2018 and transfer ownership to CAP for ongoing maintenance and distribution. CAP also thanks CANUTEC for the generous provision of the original ERG2016 materials and permission to use this material for the Australian guidebook.

GRILLOT and ROBERT E. SCHAFFRATH Received September 85, 1958 N-Arylaminomethyl aryl sulfides and l,3,5-triaryl-l,5-dithia-3-azapentanes have been prepared by condensing primary aromatic amines with formaldehyde and thiophenols. A-Methylanilines condense with formaldehyde and thiophenols to form Ar-methyl-Ar-arylaminomethyl aryl sulfides. Two arylaminoethy 1 aryl sulfides were prepared by condensing 0-chloroethylaniline with the sodium salt of the thiophenol. Basicities of these arylaminoalkyl aryl sulfides have been related to (a) the presence of electrophilic substituents attached to the aryl groups and (b) the number of carbon atoms separating the nitrogen and sulfur atoms. Recently Grillot et a l.1 have demonstrated that Whereas primary aliphatic amines generally the thiophenols condense with secondary aliphatic give a mixture of secondary and tertiary amines in amines and formaldehyde to form dialkylamino- the Mannich reaction, primary aromatic amines methyl aryl sulfides similar in structure to the can be condensed with thiophenols and formalde­ dialkylaminomethyl alkyl sulfides prepared by hyde in a 1:1:1 mole ratio to give almost exclusively McLeod and Robinson2 3by condensing aliphatic moderately stable usually crystalline W-arylamino- mercaptans with aliphatic

    ALPHABETICAL INDEX OF SUBSTANCES AND ARTICLES - 355 - NOTES TO THE INDEX 1. This index is an alphabetical list of the substances and articles which are listed in numerical order in the Dangerous Goods List in Chapter 3.2. 2. For the purpose of determining the alphabetical order the following information has been ignored even when it forms part of the proper shipping name: numbers; Greek letters; the abbreviations “sec” and “tert”; and the letters “N” (nitrogen), “n” (normal), “o” (ortho) “m” (meta), “p” (para) and “N.O.S.” (not otherwise specified). 3. The name of a substance or article in block capital letters indicates a proper shipping name. 4. The name of a substance or article in block capital letters followed by the word “see” indicates an alternative proper shipping name or part of a proper shipping name (except for PCBs). 5. An entry in lower case letters followed by the word “see” indicates that the entry is not a proper shipping name; it is a synonym. 6. Where an entry is partly in block capital letters and partly in lower case letters, the latter part is considered not to be part of the proper shipping name. 7. A proper shipping name may be used in the singular or plural, as appropriate, for the purposes of documentation and package marking. - 356 - INDEX Name and description Class UN No. Name and description Class UN No. Accumulators, electric, see 4.3 3292 Acid mixture, nitrating acid, see 8 1796 8 2794 8 2795 Acid mixture, spent, nitrating acid, see 8 1826 8 2800 8 3028 Acraldehyde, inhibited, see 6.1 1092 ACETAL 3 1088

    Dangerous Goods Classifications Dangerous Goods Classifications Click on a class to read more details: 1. Explosives 2. Gases 3. Flammable Liquids 4. Flammable Solids 5. Oxidizing Substances 6. Toxic & Infectious Substances 7. Radioactive Material 8. Corrosives 9. Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods CLASS 1: EXPLOSIVES Explosives are materials or items which have the ability to rapidly conflagrate or detonate as a consequence of chemical reaction. Subclass Subclass 1.1: Explosives with a mass explosion hazard Consists of explosives that have a mass explosion hazard. A mass explosion is one which affects almost the entire load instantaneously. Subclass 1.2: Explosives with a severe projection hazard Consists of explosives that have a projection hazard but not a mass explosion hazard. Subclass 1.3: Explosives with a fire Consists of explosives that have a fire hazard and either a minor blast hazard or a minor projection hazard or both but not a mass explosion hazard. Subclass 1.4: Minor fire or projection hazard Consists of explosives that present a minor explosion hazard. The explosive effects are largely confined to the package and no projection of fragments of appreciable size or range is to be expected. An external fire must not cause virtually instantaneous explosion of almost the entire contents of the package. Subclass 1.5: An insensitive substance with a mass explosion hazard Consists of very insensitive explosives with a mass explosion hazard (explosion similar to 1.1). This division is comprised of substances which have a mass explosion hazard but are so insensitive that there is very little probability of initiation or of transition from burning to detonation under normal conditions of transport.
