HazScan app scanning a UN 3475 hazmat placard, showing the matched UN number and guide

How it works

Three steps, seconds to a guide number.

  1. 1

    Scan

    Aim the camera at any placard. On-device text recognition reads the 4-digit UN number or hazard class in real time.

  2. 2

    Identify

    HazScan matches the number against the complete offline ERG 2024 database and pulls the correct guide.

  3. 3

    Respond

    Read isolation distances, hazards, and emergency response actions straight from the guide — on scene, no signal.

Features

Everything you need to identify and respond, built for the field.

Point-and-scan recognition

Reads UN identification numbers and hazard-class placards directly through the camera.

Multi-scan mode

Capture multiple placards across several vehicles or containers in a single incident.

Placard class recognition

Identifies FLAMMABLE, CORROSIVE, OXIDIZER, EXPLOSIVE and other DOT hazard classes.

Complete offline ERG 2024

The full Emergency Response Guidebook ships on-device. Works without cell service.

Manual search

Look up any entry by UN number or material name when scanning isn't an option.

Scan history

Every scan is saved on-device so you can revisit prior identifications during an incident.

Built for the field

A tool that performs where the work happens — not where the signal is.

Works offline

The entire ERG 2024 database is on the device. Dead zones, tunnels, remote highways — it just works.

On-device processing

Camera recognition and lookups run locally. Nothing leaves your phone, nothing waits on a server.

No data collection

No accounts, no tracking, no analytics. Your scans and history stay on your device.

Built for speed

From placard to guide number in seconds, with a high-contrast dark interface made for fast reads.
