IHMM GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS

DOL Personal Protective Equipment in Construction Proposed Rule

The U.S. Department of Labor today announced a notice of proposed rulemaking to clarify the personal protective equipment standard for the construction industry.  The current standard does not state clearly that PPE must fit each affected employee properly, which the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s general industry and maritime standards do. The proposed change would clarify that PPE must fit each employee properly to protect them from occupational hazards. The proposed rule clarifies the existing requirement, and OSHA does not expect the change will increase employers’ costs or compliance burdens. Individuals may submit comments and hearing request, identified by Docket No. OSHA-2019-0003, electronically at http://www.regulations.gov, which is the Federal e-Rulemaking Portal. All comments and hearing request must be submitted by 60 days after publication in the Federal Register.

For more information, please visit OSHA’s Personal Protective Equipment website, OSHA’s News Release and Federal Register Notice.

OSHA Rulemaking Updates and Upcoming Events

Below are current opportunities to engage with OSHA:

October 13: Date inspections may begin under OSHA’s National Emphasis Program on Warehousing and Distribution Center Operations

New CPWR Resources

The following are recent resources from CPWR- The Center for Construction Research and Training:

Improve Tracking of Workplace Injuries and Illnesses

OSHA is amending its occupational injury and illness recordkeeping regulation to require certain employers to electronically submit injury and illness information to OSHA that employers are already required to keep under the recordkeeping regulation. Specifically, OSHA is amending its regulation to require establishments with 100 or more employees in certain designated industries to electronically submit information from their OSHA Forms 300 and 301 to OSHA once a year. OSHA will not collect employee names or addresses, names of health care professionals, or names and addresses of facilities where treatment was provided if treatment was provided away from the worksite from the Forms 300 and 301. Establishments with 20 to 249 employees in certain industries will continue to be required to electronically submit information from their OSHA Form 300A annual summary to OSHA once a year. All establishments with 250 or more employees that are required to keep records under OSHA’s injury and illness regulation will also continue to be required to electronically submit information from their Form 300A to OSHA on an annual basis. OSHA is also updating the NAICS codes used in appendix A, which designates the industries required to submit their Form 300A data, and is adding appendix B, which designates the industries required to submit Form 300 and Form 301 data. In addition, establishments will be required to include their company name when making electronic submissions to OSHA. OSHA intends to post some of the data from the annual electronic submissions on a public website after identifying and removing information that could reasonably be expected to identify individuals directly, such as individuals’ names and contact information.

DATES:

This final rule becomes effective on January 1, 2024.

US Department of Labor Invites Small Business Owners, Local Governments to Share Input on Potential Heat Standard

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) invites small business owners and representatives from local government entities to join a series of upcoming discussions on the potential impacts of a workplace heat standard on small businesses.

Currently, OSHA is developing a potential standard for workplaces — in which the agency has jurisdiction — to prevent heat illness and injury in outdoor and indoor environments in general industry and in the construction, maritime and agriculture industries. As part of its process, OSHA is holding Small Business Advocacy Review Panel meetings to gather views on the potential effects of a heat standard on small businesses. The meetings will be held in teleconferences where small businesses can share concerns and discuss current practices for protecting their employees from heat-related illnesses and injuries. The discussions will be open to the public.

In October 2021, OSHA published an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for Heat Injury and Illness Prevention in Outdoor and Indoor Work Settings in the Federal Register, initiating the rulemaking for OSHA to consider a heat-specific workplace standard. OSHA has also taken several actions to protect workers from the dangers of excess heat in the workplace, including:

Beltway Buzz – Ogletree Deakins

Su Nomination in Limbo. Late last week, Senator Joe Manchin publicly voiced his opposition to Julie Su’s nomination to be secretary of labor. Senator Manchin stated:

I believe the person leading the U.S. Department of Labor should have the experience to collaboratively lead both labor and industry to forge compromises acceptable to both parties. While her credentials and qualifications are impressive, I have genuine concerns that Julie Su’s more progressive background prevents her from doing this and for that reason I cannot support her nomination to serve as Secretary of Labor.

This means that Su will need all remaining Democrats and the three Independents (and a tiebreaking vote by Vice President Kamala Harris) in the U.S. Senate to support her nomination in order to be confirmed. Even this might be a stretch, as the White House last week appeared to “out” Senator Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) by stating that they hope she reconsiders her position on Su, even though she has not publicly declared how she will vote on Su’s nomination. On July 19, 2023, Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA), ranking member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, called on President Biden to withdraw Su’s nomination, noting that “[n]o Cabinet level nominee has waited longer for a floor vote when the Senate and White House were controlled by the same political party.” As Senator Cassidy pointed out in his letter, even with these political headwinds, due to the nature of Su’s appointment, it is possible that the administration might be trying to shoehorn Su into serving as acting secretary of labor indefinitely.

Workplace Safety Update. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) appears to be hitting its rulemaking stride, as it has recently advanced the following initiatives:

  • Injury and illness reporting. Today, OSHA published in the Federal Register its latest changes to its injury and illness reporting rule. The final rule will require covered employers with one hundred or more employees to electronically submit to OSHA their Form 300 (work-related injuries and illnesses), Form 301 (injury and illness incident report), and Form 300A (yearly summary). OSHA will make these forms publicly available, and labor unions will undoubtedly be interested in reviewing them. The rule takes effect on January 1, 2024. John D. Surma and David B. Walston have a great write-up on the back-and-forth saga (spanning three administrations) of the regulation and what it ultimately means for employers.
  • PPE proposal. On July 20, 2023, OSHA issued a proposed rule revising its personal protective equipment (PPE) standard for construction. The rule would clarify and “explicitly state that PPE must fit properly to protect workers from workplace hazards.” According to the proposal, OSHA “preliminarily concludes that the rule is not expected to impose new costs on employers as a result of a new regulatory requirement.” Comments are due by September 18, 2023. John Surma and Savannah M. Selvaggio have the details.
  • OSHA targets warehousing industry. Effective July 13, 2023, OSHA launched a national emphasis program (NEP) on warehousing and distribution center operations. Pursuant to the NEP, OSHA inspectors will focus on “warehousing and distribution center operations, mail/postal processing and distribution centers, parcel delivery/courier services, and certain high injury rate retail establishments.” Inspections will scrutinize “powered industrial vehicle operations, material handling/storage, walking-working surfaces, means of egress, and fire protection,” as well as heat and ergonomic hazards. Wayne E. Pinkstone and John Surma have the details.
  • Walkaround proposal advances. On July 17, 2023, OSHA transmitted to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs its rulemaking proposal that “will clarify the right of workers and certified bargaining units to specify a worker or union representative to accompany an OSHA inspector during the inspection process/facility walkaround, regardless of whether the representative is an employee of the employer.” The proposal will likely attempt to codify OSHA’s controversial 2013 interpretation letter that was subsequently rescinded by the Trump administration.

House Republicans Scrutinize DOL Rulemaking. On July 18, 2023, the House Subcommittee on Workforce Protections held a hearing entitled, “Cutting Corners at WHD: Examining the Cost to Workers, Small Businesses, and the Economy.” The hearing is another example of Republicans’ use of their congressional oversight authority to impact the administration’s rulemaking agenda. It also represents an example of Republican efforts—even though House Republicans lack the constitutional “advise and consent” authority possessed by their counterparts in the Senate—to derail the nominations of U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) nominees Su and Jessica Looman (nominated to serve as director of the Wage and Hour Division).

Revised Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability Form Deadline. July 25, 2023, is the deadline for federal contractors to incorporate the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs’ (OFCCP) revised Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability Form into their applicant and employee processes. In April 2023, OFCCP made revisions to the form to “update the preferred language for disabilities and to include additional examples of disabilities.” Cameron W. Ellis has the details on the changes.

Professional Certification Coalition

IHMM is a member of the PCC. The PCC monitors state and federal legislative and regulatory activity affecting professional certification on an ongoing basis. The PCC has compiled several “Watchlists” identifying and analyzing provisions in pending legislation at both the state and federal level that, under applicable rules, may still be enacted in the current legislative session.  Depending on the carry-over rules in the relevant legislature, the charts listing current legislation may include bills introduced in a prior year.  In addition, the PCC compiles each year a chart of enacted legislation that affects certification. The charts include hyperlinks to every bill or executive order. Note that the Watchlist and the Enacted Legislation document do not include profession-specific legislation and do not include regulatory initiatives. The charts will be updated as needed based on new developments.

Freedom to Invest in Tomorrow’s Workforce Act (H.R. 1477/S. 722) 

    • The PCC has been hard at work planning strategy and meeting with congressional offices to encourage Members of Congress to sign on as cosponsors to our legislation. H.R. 1477 now has 15 cosponsors (9 GOP, 6 DEM), while S. 722 has 8 cosponsors (5 DEM, 3 GOP).  We are pleased with the progress we are making in cultivating support for the bill and thank our PCC members for their own advocacy efforts.  We are also grateful for the high level of enthusiasm that the staffers for our lead sponsors for the bill are demonstrating; their motivation is critical to the bill’s advancement through Congress.
    • Complementing the PCC’s individual efforts, we are connecting with other industry stakeholders to coordinate on strategy and outreach.  As we will soon announce in a more formal manner, we are in the process of assembling an informal coalition – spearheaded by ASAE/PCC – of groups interested in promoting Freedom to Invest, as many organizations outside of the certification community are also supportive of the bill. The coalition will meet on a periodic basis (e.g., once a month), produce and distribute advocacy materials, attend congressional meetings jointly, and be in frequent communication regarding developments surrounding the legislation.  If your organization is interested in participating in this Freedom to Invest-specific coalition – which will not require any sort of financial commitment – please let us know, and we’ll include you on the list. And we will of course keep all PCC members informed about developments with the bill through our regular member updates and strategy calls.

Other State and Federal Activities

In this section we will highlight other state and federal government affairs activities undertaken by the committee.

Current Priorities June-August 2023

IHMM Credential Recognition

The highest priority of IHMM’s Government Affairs Committee is the recognition of IHMM’s credentials by government. We have made substantial progress in the two years we have undertaken this endeavor, as outlined in detail here > https://ihmm.org/credential-recognition/

In this project we have 45-in-5, increasing the number of states that recognize IHMM credentials.

  • We have already succeeded in 13 states – New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Indiana, California, Colorado, Nebraska, Minnesota, Arkansas, Oklahoma. Ohio, North Dakota, and Georgia. [Red states in the map above]. These are states where IHMM credentials are cited or 40 CFR 312.10 is cited by reference.
  • We have partially succeeded in another 16 states – Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Arizona, Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Florida, Delaware, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, and Maine. [Orange/Black Stripe states in the map above] These are states where the requirements of an “environmental professional” or QEP are cited that coincide with an IHMM credential so that relatively little work would need to be done to clarify the desired outcome.
  • We have 21 states where no reference to an IHMM credential is made in either statute or regulation, nor is there anything defined in the area of an environmental professional. These states will require legislation or regulatory work. [Yellow states in the map above].

in January 2022 Gene Guilford released the 40 CFR § 312.10 EPA regulation that states a private certification that meets or exceeds the requirements of the regulation is an Environmental Professional under the regulation. Here is the crosswalk between the 40 CFR § 312.10 EPA regulation and the Certified Hazardous Materials Manager [CHMM] blueprint. The CHMM meets or exceeds the requirements of an Environmental Professional. 

Here’s what we ask each volunteer to do:

  • Watch legislative and regulatory developments in your state that provide an opportunity for us to create amendments or other interventions
  • Be willing to speak with regulators and legislators in your area about the recognition efforts we craft together

Is DE&I Facing Realignment?

ASSP President Jim Thornton talks about how DE&I should be a core value as it advances the well-being of all workers.

An unwavering characteristic of corporate strategy is to create initiatives to solve challenges. Often these initiatives slide seamlessly into the core culture finding a permanent home. But just as often these initiatives fade away after a couple of years. Reasons for these disappearing directives vary; the issue has been solved, budgets are cut due to economic conditions and often they just don’t stick.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I), which began as an initiative, is facing a critical juncture. At many companies, it has moved so firmly into the company’s operations that it is considered a competitive advantage. Many companies have proclaimed, and there are studies to back them up, that having a diverse population has made them more profitable. A diverse workforce taps into different belief systems offering more input into problem-solving. Having a workforce that reflects the diversity of customers is advantageous on many levels. And employees, especially younger ones, find value in working for a company that embraces diversity.

These advantages have been recognized for a while and most companies have DE&I officers. However, these jobs and the concept of DE&I has come under scrutiny due to social unrest and politics.

How Gas Detector Maintenance Services Automate Safety

If you’re reading this, you probably have a subscription to some type of product or service. Whether you get groceries shipped to your house each week, binge watch tv shows on Netflix, or discover new music through a streaming app, you’ve used a subscription service to get what you need—quickly and conveniently.

While these services are common for consumer goods, they’re more of an insider secret in the safety industry. However, the safety industry is the very place where these services can make the largest impact.

From basic PPE like hardhats and gloves to more advanced devices like gas monitors, everything has a life span, and your company is responsible for tracking it. Unfortunately, it’s easy to assume that these items will continue to perform as expected and protect your workers day in and day out without giving them much thought.

Luckily, subscription services provide a simple solution. Gas detector maintenance subscription services reduce the opportunity for human error by automating common orders or processes for you. For example, if a worker calibrates a gas detector but doesn’t tell anyone that the gas cylinder is low, the next worker might not be able to calibrate their monitor. This is a small error that can have big consequences. A subscription to automatically replace calibration gas when cylinders are running low could easily solve this problem – without consuming your time to monitor the gas levels or releasing POs.

Workers Underserved: Court Requires Six Connecticut Restaurants, Owners to Pay $858K to 105 Workers After Department of Labor Investigations, Litigation

Employers withheld tips, wages, overtime from restaurant employees at six locations

A federal court has entered a consent judgment and order requiring six Connecticut restaurants and their owners to pay a total of $858,191 in back wages and liquidated damages to 105 employees after an investigation and litigation by the U.S. Department of Labor.

The restaurants are located in Darien, Fairfield, Greenwich, New Canaan, New Haven and Westport.

In November 2022, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut granted the U.S. Secretary of Labor’s motion for partial summary judgment in its entirety, concluding that the employers violated the Fair Labor Standards Act’s overtime and recordkeeping provisions. The court awarded a total of $251,129 in back wages for overtime violations and held the employers liable for liquidated damages and forbid them from violating the FLSA’s overtime and recordkeeping provisions.

After obtaining a favorable order on partial summary judgment, the department and the employers entered into a consent judgment. The judgment — entered by the court in February 2023 — requires the employers to pay additional back wages, withheld tips and liquidated damages owed for all remaining claims, including those for minimum wage, tip pool and other overtime violations. It also forbids the employers from violating the FLSA and provides for a consent writ of execution should the employers fail to comply with the consent judgment’s monetary terms. The judgment also incorporates the court’s summary judgment decision and requires the restaurants and their owners to pay a total of $858,191 in back wages, withheld tips and liquidated damages.

OSHA Finds Sawmill Failed to Remediate Exposed Saw Following a Worker’s Death

Missouri Mats now faces $346,954 in proposed penalties.

A sawmill that was previously the site of a 21-year-old worker’s death due to an exposed saw has not taken steps to correct the issue.

In a release dated July 13, OSHA announced that a follow-up visit to Brashear, Missouri-based Missouri Mats revealed the sawmill operation site hadn’t complied with requirements to address an exposed saw. The equipment was responsible for the death of a young worker, who received fatal injuries after getting caught in the vertical edger blades on January 11, 2023.

An OSHA investigation followed, with investigators issuing Don Gibson—owner of Missouri Mats—a letter requiring changes to protect his employees from amputation hazards. Gibson failed to report to OSHA, as directed, to confirm the changes. In fact, when OSHA officials returned to the site on March 1, 2023, they found the hazardous environment remained.

Without the necessary procedures put in place, the saw which had claimed a worker’s life less than two months earlier remained in the same condition. OSHA placed an imminent danger notice on the equipment, which led Gibson to correct the safety hazard.

Executives say workers are doing well. Workers say otherwise

Results of a recent survey reveal a sizeable gap between how C-suite executives perceive workers’ well-being and how workers actually feel.

For Deloitte’s second annual Well-Being at Work Survey, researchers surveyed nearly 3,200 C-suite execs, managers and employees across four countries – the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia – in March. All respondents worked full time and ranged in age from 18 to 76.

Among the employees, 25% said their mental health had worsened in the past year, while 23% said their physical well-being had declined.

In contrast, only 3% of the C-suite execs said workers’ physical and mental well-being had gotten worse in the past year.

Negative emotions and fatigue were common among workers. Around half said they “always” or “often” feel exhausted or stressed, while others reported feelings of being overwhelmed (43%), irritable (34%), lonely (33%), depressed (32%) or angry (27%). Nearly 3 out of 4 find it difficult to take time off or disconnect from their jobs.

US Department of Labor Investigation Finds Jacksonville Psychiatric Treatment Facility Failed to Keep Workers Safe, Follow Safety Procedures

OSHA cites UHS of Delaware Inc., TBJ Behavioral Center LLC after patient attacks worker

A federal workplace safety investigation found a Jacksonville psychiatric health and substance disorder facility did not follow safety procedures, leaving workers vulnerable to injuries, including one who a patient reportedly kicked in the face.

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration learned a registered nurse employed by UHS of Delaware Inc. and TBJ Behavioral Center LLC, operating as River Point Behavioral Health, was writing reports in January 2023 when a patient entered the staff-only workspace. The patient then allegedly punched and kicked the nurse in the face and head, causing the employee to suffer several injuries including a loss of consciousness and lacerations.

“Workplace violence is a growing concern for healthcare workers and industry employers must take all possible steps to prevent or abate recognized hazards,” said OSHA Area Office Director Scott Tisdale in Jacksonville, Florida. “Our investigation found River Point Behavioral Health failed to address their employee’s safety concerns in a timely manner. No one should go to work daily fearing for their lives and physical well-being.”

OSHA, DOL Launch Investigations into the Death of a 16-Year-Old Boy at Mar-Jac Poultry

Another worker died in 2021 due to injuries at the Mississippi facility.

The Mar-Jac Poultry plant in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, was the home of tragedy once again, as a 16-year-old worker from Guatemala lost his life following injuries sustained on the job.

According to NBC News, Duvan Tomas Perez, whose death authorities said was caused by equipment, became “entangled in machinery” at the Mar-Jac plant on July 14, 2023. Following the incident, OSHA and the U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL) Wage and Hour Division launched investigations.

As it turns out, Mar-Jac has a history of OSHA violations. In May 2021, another employee died at the plant after his sleeve was caught in a machine, leaving him pinned “partially” underneath. Mar-Jac contested OSHA’s fine of $27,306; the case is still open. Just a few months later, per OSHA, an employee lost the tip of her index finger on the job, inciting an $11,396 fine. That case closed in June 2023.

Working with Gen Z is a Bit Challenging

Survey says this generation lacks technological skills, effort and motivation. Each generation seems to feel that the younger generation is hard to work with. To test this theory for GenZers,ResumeBuilder surveyed 1,344 managers.

The verdict? 74% of managers agreed that the most challenging generation to work with is, in fact, Gen Zers.

Why? They lack technological skills (39%), effort (37%), and motivation (37%), among other skills and traits.

And these reasons cause companies to fire these workers. The survey found that one in eight have fired a GenZer within a week of their start date. The reason given for this early departure is that they lack motivation and effort and are too easily offended. But there is hope.

3 very different jobs carry a higher ovarian cancer risk: study

Women employed in hairdressing, construction and accounting may face a higher risk of developing ovarian cancer, a recent study out of Canada suggests.

University of Montreal researchers looked at data from the Prevention of Ovarian Cancer in Quebec Study, which included 491 women ages 18-79 who were diagnosed with ovarian cancer between 2010 and 2016. They compared information from that group with data from 897 women without the disease.

Findings show that the women who were employed for at least 10 years as hairdressers, beauticians or related occupations had a threefold greater risk of developing ovarian cancer. These jobs were most often exposed to 13 different agents, including ammonia, hydrogen peroxide, organic dyes and pigments, and bleaches, and the second most frequent occupation exposed to talcum powder. However, the researchers note that it’s unclear whether “these associations were driven by a single agent, a combination or other workplace factors.”

Concurrent Group Faces OSHA Fines for Electrocution Hazards Following a Worker’s Death

The company faces more than $40,000 in proposed penalties.

The death of a 32-year-old lineman for Concurrent Group LLC in January 2023 led OSHA to kick off an investigation of the company’s safety measures.

In a release dated July 19, OSHA announced it had completed its investigation into the Blue Bell, Pennsylvania-based electrical contractor. The findings determined employees parked a digger truck underneath energized overhead power lines without taking the necessary precautions. This oversight, OSHA found, ultimately led to the employee’s death by electrocution, which occurred when the truck’s boom made contact with the 7,620-volt power line.

Concurrent received five serious violations, amounting to a proposed $40,937 in penalties, as a result of the investigation. These violations include allowing employees to operate a digger truck within minimum approach distance to the overhead power lines, failure to designate an observer to supervise the activity, the lack of protective equipment to ground and insulate the area and the failure to inspect the site and equipment prior to starting work.

5-minute breaks can restore concentration: study

Need to reset your attention during a complex work task? A five-minute break is all it takes.

So says a research team at the University of Sydney, which asked 72 college students to complete a difficult mathematics pre-test under “speeded testing conditions” for about 20 minutes.

Afterward, students in a control group (no rest) immediately went on to study a short lesson on mentally multiplying two-digit numbers. Another group was first given an unstructured five-minute rest break before studying the lesson, while a third group watched a video of an Australian rainforest beforehand.

All of the students then completed a short survey that asked about distractions they experienced during the mental mathematics lesson, before finally taking a 20-question, problem-solving test on applying the math strategy.

Dealing with Data Still an Issue for EHS Professionals

In a new survey, 42% of EHS professionals say data reporting is their most significant challenge.

A recent study, Complex Data. Increasing Regulations. Cutting-Edge Solutions, conducted by Intelex looking into the priorities and concerns of EHS professionals found that significant work needs to be done to improve incident prevention, with 90% of respondents reporting their organizations have experienced H&S incidents in the last 12 months and 85% reporting repeat injuries on job sites.

One particular challenge was the EHS professionals felt “overwhelmed and ill-equipped to manage huge amounts of data,” the study reported. According to the research, 42% state data reporting is their most significant challenge while only 7% have fully integrated systems in place. Poor integration, reported by 44% was a problem and lack of correct technology to collect and analyze the data they need in the first place, was reported by 32%.

Spring 2023 OSHA Regulatory Agenda

As part of our efforts to keep you informed of OSHA’s activities, we wanted to let you know that the Department of Labor, including OSHA, has issued its Spring 2023 Regulatory Agenda. Federal agencies post their regulatory agendas on the Reginfo.gov website and Mobile.Reginfo.gov  twice a year to provide a snapshot of their rulemaking priorities.

A listing of Department of Labor (including OSHA) rulemaking in the pre-rule, proposed rule, and final rule stages is available here. Rules that are classified as long-term actions are listed here.

OSHA’s Safe + Sound Campaign is a nationwide opportunity to raise awareness and understanding of the value of proactive occupational safety and health (OSH) programs in all workplaces. Mark your calendars! Safe + Sound Week will take place from August 7-13, 2023. Safe + Sound Week is a nationwide event held each August that recognizes the successes of workplace health and safety programs and offers information and ideas on how to keep America’s workers safe. Registration for Safe + Sound Week opens in early July.  We look forward to your participation!

Safe + Sound emphasizes the need for safety programs at small- and mid-sized businesses, which are more likely to have limited resources dedicated to safety. As you know, effective OSH programs can help organizations identify and manage workplace risk before they cause injury or illness, improving sustainability and the bottom line.

IHMM  – 26 Fellows Are Mentors 

IHMM Fellows Committee Chair Atanu Das, CHMM, is leading the effort within the IHMM Collaboration networking platform to provide instruction to the more than 75 IHMM Fellows in becoming mentors.

Given the extraordinary experience Fellows have, this is a unique opportunity for IHMM Fellows to help guide more recent certificants in their professional development activities.

IHMM’s Collaboration platform contains a “Mentor Match” module [see below at right] that allows mentors to signup designating the hours, number of mentees, subject areas, and length of time they wish to mentor – as well as allowing mentees to signup requesting assistance in specified areas. The mentor match module does the rest by matching mentors and mentees.

IHMM Recertification Videos

IHMM is pleased to release two YouTube instructional videos about navigating the IHMM recertification process. These step-by-step videos easily enable IHMM certificants to start and complete a recertification application.

While the full recertification cycle is 5 years, IHMM encourages all certificants to start a recertification application and add certification maintenance points as they are earned to make the final submission quick and easy to accomplish.

  • Every CSHM and CSMP should start a recertification application now.
  • Even if your recertification is years away, starting an application now and adding your accumulated points enables you to see where you are all the time and it makes it very easy when you have to file your application

IHMM Scholarship Program

The Institute of Hazardous Materials Management is pleased to have created $32,000 in academic scholarships, divided equally between $16,000 for students enrolled in undergraduate or graduate education in approved schools and who are also Student CHMMs, and $16,000 for students enrolled in undergraduate or graduate education in approved schools and who are also Student ASHMs.

IHMM seeks to foster the growth and academic success of students whose courses of education, and participation in one of our Student certifications, will lead to those students becoming fully-certified IHMM credential holders later in their professional lives.

Retiring? IHMM Invites You to Become an Emeritus

You may have decided, after a long and successful career, to retire from active daily duty. Congratulations. That doesn’t mean you have to completely disengage from your profession. IHMM is pleased to offer Emeritus status to all certificants who will no longer be actively engaged in their communities of practice but who still want to stay in touch. Please let us know when you’re approaching that decision and we will assist you in the credential transition.

Please contact Jimmy Nguyen at [email protected] and he’ll be happy to help you.

IHMM is a member of ASSP and is pleased to bring this important information to all of its certificants.

HMS Makes Finding Courses to Earn CMPs Easy

Every year more than 1,600 IHMM certificants have to recertify their credentials, evidenced their continuing commitment to improvement and learning to elevate their professional credential.

Earning Certification Maintenance Points [CMPs] is illustrated under Recertification of Your Credential, that includes the Recertification Claims Manual – Appendix A, that details all of the ways a certificant may earn CMPs > https://ihmm.org/recertification-claims/

Having mastered that manual, how does an IHMM certificant find courses to earn CMPs?

HMS has made that simple and easy.

  1. Go to https://hazmatsociety.org/education-training/
  2. Scroll down until you see a row of buttons…click on the CMPs button

The system will then generate all of the courses on the HMS E&T platform with IHMM CMPs already attached.

The next developments by the HMS E&T committee will refine available courses’ CMPs by individual credential!

IHMM and HMS Tie Exam Preparation Together for Applicants

Every IHMM certification that requires an examination has a section of its website entitled Examination Preparation.

Connected to the Examination Preparation panel is a companion panel that is Find a Course to Prepare for the Exam.

You see the Find a Course to Prepare for the Exam panel from the CSHM site at left.

When you click on the Find a Course to Prepare for the Exam panel it takes the applicant directly to the HMS site where all CSHM prep courses may be found and chosen.

If you want your prep courses on the HMS platform so it can be found by IHMM credential applicants, contact Gene Guilford at [email protected]
