Error found in DOT Haz-Mat Guide

WASHINGTON, D.C. — USDOT has advised that an error exists in the English version of the printed ERG on page 360. 

In the table of water-reactive materials which produce toxic gases (green-bordered pages), the wrong guide (guide 151) is listed for dimethyldichlorosilane (ID# 1162). The correct Guide for this material is 155. 

It is correctly listed in the ID number index (yellow-bordered pages, page 29) and the name of material index (blue bordered pages, page 130). This changes the category from substance-toxic (non-combustible) to substances toxic and/or corrisive (flammable/water sensitive).

The correction has been made to the internet version of the ERG on USDOT's Office of Hazardous Materials Safety Website: HTTP://Hazmat.dot.gov/gydebook.htm.
