General Information

CHMM

The Certified Hazardous Materials Manager credential was created in 1984 to recognize and promote professional standards and experience in the management of hazardous materials.  Membership is through local chapters affiliated with the Academy of Certified Hazardous Materials Managers (ACHMM).

The CHMM credentialing program is administered by the Institute of Hazardous Materials Management and accredited by the Council of Engineering and Scientific Specialty Boards (CESB).

CHMP (New)

The Certified Hazardous Materials Practitioner credential was created in 2007.  This new credential is also intended to recognize and promote professional standards and experience in HM management.  Unlike the CHMM credential, the CHMP credential does not require a four-year college degree.  Instead, practitioners may qualify based on a combination of an associates degree and three years experience, or no degree and five years experience.  This credentialing program is also administered by the Institute of Hazardous Materials Management.
