What is a Certified Hazardous Materials Manager (CHMM)?

A Certified Hazardous Materials Manager® (CHMM®) has demonstrated, through education, experience and examination, the ability to identify and assess the risks of hazardous materials, mitigate or eliminate those risks, and manage their impact on human health and the environment. CHMMs provide proper controls for material handling, transportation, and security throughout the life cycle of hazardous materials, from design and production through storage, recycling, and ultimate disposal. They apply scientific knowledge, engineering technologies, and best management practices in compliance with all regulatory requirements. 

What is a Certified Hazardous Materials Practitioner (CHMP)?

A Certified Hazardous Materials PractitionerTM (CHMPTM) is experienced in handling hazardous materials in a wide variety of specialties, such as environmental protection, emergency response, safety, transportation, and security. CHMPs have experience in packing, shipping, tracking or securing hazardous articles; responding to spills; and/or cleaning up contaminated sites. The CHMP certification is related to the CHMM, but focuses more on hands-on or workplace experience as a practitioner and less on the management aspects of the field. The certification is designed for hazardous materials workers with at least 5 years of relevant experience.
