Certified Hazardous Materials
Manager (CHMM) Review Course

May 3-6, 2010
Chapel Hill, North Carolina

CHMM Exam

Hazardous Materials Management is the application of scientific, engineering and managerial technology to identify, evaluate and eliminate or reduce risks involving conditions and practices related to hazardous materials over their total life cycles, including ultimate disposal.

Why Certification? Environmental programs are vital to our public health and safety. Within that field, the management of hazardous materials requires proven and unquestionable skill and competence. Quality control over the professionals involved in programs of national importance, and particularly of public safety, is best accomplished through certification.

Principle objectives of the Certified Hazardous Materials Manager (CHMM):

  • provides credentialed recognition to those professionals engaged in the management and control of hazardous materials
  • fosters continued professional development of certified hazardous materials managers
  • facilitates the transfer of knowledge and experience among professionals and organizations vitally concerned with hazardous materials management
  • provides government, industry, and academia with a mechanism for identifying hazardous materials management professionals who have met the exacting standards for certification

The 3 1/2-day Certified Hazardous Materials Manager (CHMM) Review Course is designed to provide a review of the major subject areas defined by the Institute of Hazardous Materials Management. Attendees are assumed to have a basic understanding of the fundamentals of each of these subject areas.

Course Faculty

The course is taught by members of the Piedmont Chapter of the Academy of Certified Hazardous Materials Managers from Greensboro/Winston Salem/High Point, North Carolina.
