What is an ERAP?An emergency response assistance plan (ERAP)
describes what to do in the event of a release or anticipated release of certain higher-risk dangerous goods while they are in transport
Each plan is specific to certain: • dangerous goods• modes of transport (air, rail, road or marine)• means of containments (containers or packaging)
used to hold the dangerous goods• geographical areas in which the dangerous goods
will be transported

ERAC
During an Incident
In an incident, an event that causes an actual or anticipated release of the dangerous goods in the course of their handling or transporting and endangers or could endanger public safety, we must:
• gather information about the incident (ERAC Home Base Coordinator (HBC)),
• determine the actions you will take to respond (jointly by HBC and Plan Participant), and
• implement your plan (Plan Participant).
![Page 33: ERAP Readiness and Review](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050516/6272317b2f6dc7373e7d956a/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
ERAC
Release of Dangerous Goods
Examples of a release:
rollover of a highway tanker with dangerous goods spilling from the manway
overfill of a means of containment, causing a spill to the ground
a bottom outlet valve that was not secured, causing a spill to the ground
a load-shift of dangerous goods, causing a spill to the ground
![Page 34: ERAP Readiness and Review](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050516/6272317b2f6dc7373e7d956a/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
ERAC
Anticipated Release of DG
Examples of anticipated release:
a tanker has rolled over in a ditch and the means of containment is not in its intended orientation, with all four sides not visible
a rail car has been involved in a sideswipe
a means of containment is exposed to a fire or unusual temperatures
a faulty or damaged gasket or valve

ERAC
Duty to Take Reasonable Emergency Measures
A person who has the charge, management or control of a means of containment (often the carrier) has a duty to respond under section 18 of the TDG Act
This includes a duty to report and to take reasonable emergency measures
![Page 36: ERAP Readiness and Review](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050516/6272317b2f6dc7373e7d956a/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
ERAC
Duty to Report an Incident
The person who has the charge, management or control of a means of containment must make an ERAP incident report to the person at the ERAP telephone number, required to be included on a shipping document
This report is intended to inform the person who holds the ERAP that a release or anticipated release has occurred, so that they can respond based on the tiered approach
![Page 37: ERAP Readiness and Review](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050516/6272317b2f6dc7373e7d956a/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

ERAP Incident Evaluation
During the ERAP report, the HBC will ask 5 preliminary assessment questions:
1. Is there a release or anticipated release?
2. Is there damage to means of containment?
3. Is a transfer required?
4. Is the public in danger or in potential danger?
5. Is the caller asking for assistance?

ERAC
Implementing Your ERAP
As soon as you are made aware of an incident involving your dangerous good, whether by the ERAP incident report or other means, you must decide how you will respond to the release or anticipated release
The ERAP must be implemented in response to a release or anticipated release
Should the ERAP not be implemented, Transport Canada may revoke the approval of the plan
![Page 43: ERAP Readiness and Review](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050516/6272317b2f6dc7373e7d956a/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
ERAC
HBC Recommendation
After the ERAP report is made and the preliminary assessment questions documented, the HBC, in cooperation with the Plan Participant, will implement the ERAP to either a tier 1 or tier 2 response based on the situation and request of caller
The Plan Participant has final approval as to which level the ERAP will be implemented
![Page 44: ERAP Readiness and Review](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050516/6272317b2f6dc7373e7d956a/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
ERAC
Implementing a Tiered Response
Implementing the plan does not necessarily mean that emergency response resources found in your ERAP must be sent to the site of the release or anticipated release
An ERAP can be implemented to tier 1 or tier 2
ERAC will assist you to determine to which tier you need to implement your ERAP, based on the actions that need to be taken
![Page 45: ERAP Readiness and Review](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050516/6272317b2f6dc7373e7d956a/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

ERAC
Remote Monitoring
Definition: To monitor the release
or anticipated release while not
being on site. Despite not being at
the site of the release or anticipated
release, you should be actively
involved in the conversations and
decisions that involve the dangerous
goods and/or the means of
containment.
