Officers can identify a material by finding the number on which panel?

• A. In the chemical aid booklet
• B. On the black and white panel
• C. On the red panel
• D. On the orange panel

Answer: (D)

In emergency response, responders rely on color-coded panels to quickly identify hazardous materials. The number you see on the orange panel is the material’s identification number, which you use to look up the exact substance in the Emergency Response Guidebook. Once you match that number, the guide provides the hazards, necessary protective measures, and recommended actions for safe handling and containment. The chemical aid booklet is the reference you consult, not the place where the identification number is displayed, and the other colored panels convey different labeling information rather than the lookup number.
