In the ERG, which color-bordered sections contain the highlighted entries indicating a material is either a toxic inhalation hazard or a dangerous water reactive material?

• A. Blue-bordered section only
• B. Yellow-bordered and Blue-bordered sections
• C. Yellow-bordered section only
• D. Green-bordered sections

Answer: (B)

In the ERG, color borders help you quickly spot different kinds of hazard information. Some materials carry more than one hazard, so their entries are highlighted in more than one color-bordered section. For toxic inhalation hazards and dangerous water-reactive materials, the ERG marks those entries in both the blue-bordered and the yellow-bordered sections. This dual highlighting ensures you don’t miss the warning whether you’re looking at the blue section or the yellow section. TIH means the material can cause severe harm if inhaled, and water-reactive materials can react violently with water to produce heat, gases, or other hazards, so having both sections flagged helps guide protective actions and isolate procedures effectively. The emphasis on both borders reflects the need to recognize both hazard aspects, rather than limiting the warning to a single color.
