Call for Volunteers – Student CHMM Committee
From Spring 2020 through Early Summer 2021 IHMM ran a pilot program for the newly created Student CHMM credential. See > https://ihmm.org/student-chmm/ The pilot program involved two colleges that brought forth 90 Student CHMM applications. Having successfully conducted this pilot program, IHMM now seeks to have a small group of volunteers oversee and help to guide the program.
You can learn more about the program here > https://ihmm.org/ihmm-student-chmm-committee/ including the charter of the committee as approved by the IHMM Board of Directors.
If you would like to help increase interest in IHMM credentials among college students, this is your opportunity to make a meaningful and valuable contribution to IHMM and to college students before they graduate from college and start their professional hazmat careers.
Go here > https://ihmm.org/ihmm-student-chmm-committee/ and volunteer today! Preference is given to CHMMs.
Call for Volunteers – IHMM Professional Textbook Committee
IHMM is calling for volunteers to participate in updating the IHMM Managing Hazardous Materials – A Definitive Text, textbook. Preference is given to those who last participated in this endeavor, though IHMM seeks CHMM and CHMP hazardous materials professionals generally to populate this committee and contribute to this effort.
Information about and volunteering for this committee is here > https://ihmm.org/ihmm-professional-textbook-committee/ Note that this scholarly work will be peer-reviewed. In addition, this committee will be permanent and provide continuous improvement of the material by not only produced a single new textbook but also producing an annual update of material.
Here is how a professional certification body operates:
The IHMM Managing Hazardous Materials text is an integral part of the system that begins with producing or updating a blueprint for an IHMM credential, such as the CHMM or CHMP. Arising from the blueprint next comes creating examinations and item banks of questions that feed the exams. The IHMM text then mirrors the blueprint and examinations in order to best prepare applicants to take the exam. Then, arising from the blueprint and textbook comes the creation of preparatory courses further enabling applicants to prepare for and ultimately to pass the exam. The prep courses are offered through IHMM’s foundation at the Hazardous Materials Society.

When it comes to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is not messing around. The agency announced on June 10, 2021, three actions intended to protect communities from PFAS:
- proposing a rule designed to obtain comprehensive data on more than 1,000 PFAS manufactured in the United States;
- withdrawing guidance that EPA believes weakened its July 2020 significant new use rule (SNUR) restricting certain long-chain PFAS; and
- publishing a final rule that incorporates three additional PFAS into the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) maintained under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA).
More information about these rules is available in our June 11, 2021, memorandum “EPA Announces Three PFAS Actions, Including Proposed TSCA Section 8(a) Reporting Rule.” Comments on these proposed rules are due on or before September 27, 2021.
The proposed rule intended to obtain comprehensive data on PFAS would require all manufacturers (including importers) of PFAS in any year since 2011 to report information related to chemical identity, categories of use, volumes manufactured and processed, byproducts, environmental and health effects, worker exposure, and disposal. As a result of these EPA regulatory actions, companies that never expected to need to know TSCA are now finding themselves in EPA’s crosshairs.
In light of this, Bergeson & Campbell, P.C. (B&C®) is pleased to announce a complimentary webinar focused on these issues on September 9, 2021, 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. (EDT). B&C Managing Partner Lynn L. Bergeson and Director of Chemistry Richard E. Engler, Ph.D., will discuss EPA’s proposed rules and what the regulated community must know and do to comply.

IHMM and HMS
The graphic to the left illustrates the relationship between IHMM and HMS. IHMM formed HMS to serve IHMM’s certificates. IHMM offers a variety of professional credentials and HMS creates education and training programs to serve the applicants and certificants of those credentials.
Survey
The Hazardous Materials Society has created a survey to learn from IHMM’s certificants what those certificants need most. If HMS is to serve IHMM’s certificants we need IHMM’s certificants to respond to this survey.
Please go here for a short, 5 question survey that takes less than 2 minutes to take.
HMS Education and Training
Hazardous Materials Society now has 11,701 education and training programs on its website, with more coming every week. Certificants will note that most of these programs carry a CMP value, making it easier to know in advance what to expect. The HMS Education and Training platform also provides a wide variety of courses for professional development across all of IHMM’s credentials – and more are being developed by the HMS Education and Training Committee.
IHMM applicants and certificants are free to search the landscape for training. IHMM wanted to make that task easier by aggregating training in one place, if you choose to use it. Among these more than 11.000 programs are webinars delivered online and virtually all carry IHMM CMPs values with them for your annual / 5-year CMP planning.

Are adverse reactions to the COVID-19 vaccine recordable on the OSHA recordkeeping log?
In general, an adverse reaction to the COVID-19 vaccine is recordable if the reaction is: (1) work-related, (2) a new case, and (3) meets one or more of the general recording criteria in 29 CFR 1904.7 (e.g., days away from work, restricted work or transfer to another job, medical treatment beyond first aid).
If you require your employees to be vaccinated as a condition of employment (i.e., for work-related reasons), then any adverse reaction to the COVID-19 vaccine is work-related. The adverse reaction is recordable if it is a new case under 29 CFR 1904.6 and meets one or more of the general recording criteria in 29 CFR 1904.7.
New! Vaccine Data Dashboard. We now have a specific dashboard dedicated to state vaccination plans, updated daily. For each state, you’ll find:
- Current distribution phase,
- Brief overview of state plan,
- Current and future eligible populations, and
- Links to state documentation.
A Collaborative Culture
There are 472 different conversations going on in the IHMM/HMS Collaboration platform this week. A collaborative culture is important for every business but is especially important for our hazardous materials, dangerous goods, environment, health, and safety communities of practice. IHMM credentialed professionals are at the top 1% of their professions and their reach is global. We are at the forefront of environmental protection, health, and safety and this is where collaborating with the best people in their fields, always willing to help one another, lessens the stress of our jobs, and where we strive as a team to make a difference of which we are proud.
We opened COLLABORATION to enable thousands of certificants and supporters to collaborate together. You can collaborate here.
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.

Beltway Buzz – Ogletree & Deakins
Historic Federal Legislation on the Move. While the Buzz was out last week, the U.S. Senate passed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act by a bipartisan vote of 69 to 30. As the Buzz has discussed, the bill provides $1.2 trillion in funding to build and repair roads, bridges, waterways, ports, and other infrastructure projects. Following passage of the infrastructure bill, the Senate passed its $3.5 trillion Fiscal Year 2022 budget resolution, 50-49. As a result, the U.S. House of Representatives will return from August recess next week to take up the measure. Passage of the budget resolution in the House will trigger the complicated budget reconciliation process, by which Democrats plan to address a slew of issues from Medicare to universal prekindergarten to climate change. Reconciliation will also allow Democrats to proceed unilaterally, as it is not subject to the legislative filibuster in the Senate.
If passed by the House, the budget resolution will instruct congressional committees to draft substantive policies as part of what is expected to be a massive reconciliation bill. As outlined in a summary of the budget resolution, some of those instructions include providing funding for the following items:
- “Paid Family and Medical Leave”
- “Pro-worker incentives and worker support”
- “Universal Pre-K for 3 and 4-year olds”
- “Child care for working families”
- “Workforce development and job training”
- “Labor enforcement and penalties”
- “Lawful permanent status for qualified immigrants,” such as Dreamers and recipients of Temporary Protected Status
While the advantage of reconciliation is that it avoids the Senate filibuster, only items that deal with federal budget and fiscal matters may be included in the process. (This is why an increase in the federal minimum wage was axed from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.) As the Buzz has mentioned, Speaker Nancy Pelosi has stated that she will not address the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act until the Senate drafts and passes its reconciliation bill. This process is likely to drag out into September and beyond.
NLRB GC Forecasts Policy Agenda. On August 12, 2021, National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo issued a memorandum that sets forth a road map for areas of Board law that she will seek to change. (This is a common practice at the Board for newly minted general counsel.) The memo tees up issues that General Counsel Abruzzo will likely try to put before the Board when it gains a Democratic majority upon the expiration of Republican member William Emanuel’s term on August 27, 2021. Thus, employers may want to be on the lookout for changes in Board policy on the following issues set forth in the memo:
- Employer handbook rules, including policies relating to confidentiality during workplace investigations, and workplace civility
- The parameters of protected concerted activity
- Union organizing via employer email systems
- Union access to employer property
- Independent contractor status, as well as employee misclassification as an unfair labor practice
- “Board jurisdiction over religious institutions”
- Board deferral to arbitration
- Employer remittance of employees’ union dues payments following the expiration of collective bargaining agreements
- Reducing union financial transparency with regard to compulsory dues paid by union nonmembers
- Employer withdrawal of union recognition
- Expansion of Weingarten rights (allowing unionized employees to be accompanied by union representatives to employer investigatory meetings that may result in discipline) to nonunion settings and other types of meetings or discussions
Many of these issue areas undoubtedly sound familiar to Board watchers. Indeed, the Board is sometimes criticized for its policy oscillation, and this memo signifies a likely continuation of that practice.
OSHA COVID-19 Update. Comments on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) COVID-19 Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) are due today, August 20, 2021. Generally speaking, members of the business community are expected to express concerns over the closed-door process associated with the drafting of the ETS, as well as concerns as to whether OSHA has met the necessary statutory requirements for the issuance of such a standard. Labor unions and other worker advocacy groups are likely to encourage OSHA to expand the ETS to other industries.
EEO-1 Deadline Extended. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has again extended the date by which covered employers must file their 2019 and 2020 EEO-1 Component 1 reports. Employers may now have a more relaxing weekend, because the deadline has been extended from August 23, 2021, to October 25, 2021. But employers may not want to relax too much, because the EEOC states the following with its own emphasis: “Please note that this new deadline is the FINAL DEADLINE and all eligible filers MUST submit data by this date. No additional changes to the filing deadline will be made.”
AFL-CIO Chooses New President. On August 20, 2021, the AFL-CIO chose Acting President and Secretary-Treasurer Elizabeth H. Shuler to succeed Richard Trumka as president of the labor organization. Trumka passed away unexpectedly on August 5, 2021. Shuler will serve out the remainder of Trumka’s term, which runs through June 2022. Shuler is the first female president of the AFL-CIO.
Record of Reconciliation. The reconciliation process in Congress that has been the talk of the town in Washington, D.C., over the last eight months is a relatively new legislative tool. Created by the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (which also established the Congressional Budget Office), the reconciliation process empowers Congress to “reconcile” existing spending, revenue, and debt-limit laws with current fiscal priorities. President Jimmy Carter signed the first reconciliation measure into law in 1980. Since 1980, Congress has sent 26 reconciliation bills to the White House, and 22 of those measures have been enacted into law. Because reconciliation bills cannot be filibustered in the Senate, the reconciliation process has been favored by both Democrats and Republicans as an expedited means of enacting their policy preferences. For example, Democrats used reconciliation to pass the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, while Republicans used the process to pass the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2017. But arguably the most famous example of the reconciliation process—at least for those interested in employment law and policy—is the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (it became law in 1986), more popularly known as COBRA. Among other provisions, COBRA allows eligible employees to continue their healthcare coverage for limited periods, under certain circumstances, such as separations from employment.
