1.0 Introduction
Kelso Emergency Response Kit (ERK) offers performance and reliability with today’s
Best Available and Safest Technology. The ERK was developed with hazardous
material specialists from a Class I railroad company. The Kit delivers a technical
superior product which includes features such as; components built using lightweight
material, containment cans pressure-tested, color-coded cans to properly select can
under emergency conditions, non-slip exterior and Teflon interior coatings applied to the
cans, high-strength aluminum bridges, a friction-reduction system that lowers torque
required to apply cans.
1.1 Precautions
The ERK has been designed to allow for a quick and easy way of
containing leaking valves on tank cars. Use extreme caution when
involved with hazardous materials that could cause serious injury or
damage.
1.1.1 Only personnel which are properly qualified should install,
operate and maintain the ERK.
1.1.2 It is recommended to familiarize personnel with the contents of
the ERK and practice assembling onto tank car protective

1.1.3 Only certified parts from Kelso or one of its authorized
representatives should be used in the ERK.
1.1.4 The ERK may be installed on DOT tank cars that carry
hazardous chemicals and may travel under pressure.
