Do you encounter any hazardous materials in your workplace or environment?
Are you responsible for the proper handling, storage and/or transportation of hazardous materials? Are you affected by any health, safety, product stewardship or life cycle-related decisions regarding the use of hazardous materials? If so, you should have a credential from the Institute for Hazardous Materials Management (IHMM) that recognizes your responsibilities, training, and expertise.
Given that hazardous materials are found everywhere, a series of three new exam prep courses are now available to prepare candidates for certification by IHMM. All three courses closely follow the approved IHMM examination blueprints. Internationally-recognized credentials promote career advancement and recognition of subject matter expertise in the field of hazardous materials management. IHMM and its credentials are accredited by Council of Engineering & Scientific Specialty Boards (CESB) & American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
College seniors and graduate students looking to start a career related to proper & beneficial use of hazardous materials can prepare for the Hazardous Materials Manager in Training (HMMT) exam with a one-day course on Fundamentals of Hazardous Materials. Completing Day 1 of the three-day series of courses is an excellent introduction to this career field.
Supervisors and practitioners, without an applicable 4-year college degree, who are responsible for handling, storage, transportation or other use of hazardous materials can now prepare for the Certified Hazardous Materials Practitioner (CHMP) exam with a 2-day course (Days 1 and 2).
Executives and Managers, with an applicable 4-year college degree and requisite experience, can prepare for the Certified Hazardous Materials Manager (CHMM) with a 3-day course (Days 1, 2 and 3).
What is the three-day course sequence?
HMMT (Day 1), CHMP (Days 1 & 2), and CHMM (Days 1, 2 & 3)
Days 1-3 — CHMM Exam Prep — Day 3 focus is project & program management. Content includes environmental, health, safety, and homeland security regulations & compliance; assessing risks related to hazardous materials; mitigating and/or eliminating hazards; and managing impacts of hazardous materials on human health and the environment.
Days 1 and 2 — CHMP Exam Prep — Day 2 focus is supervisor and practitioner issues. Content includes identification, handling, shipment of hazardous materials; management of emergencies and incidents; and site investigation and remediation.
Day 1 only — HMMT Exam Prep — Fundamentals of Hazardous Materials are reviewed for all attendees. Content includes: basic hazmat science; hazmat chemistry and physics; geology and hydrology; environmental biology and ecology; physiology and toxicology; and sampling and analysis.
Who Should Attend? Environmental, Health & Safety Decision Makers including: Hazardous Materials Managers, Engineers, Environmental Scientists, Industrial Hygienists and Safety Officers. Anyone who wants to increase or refresh their knowledge of the Fundamentals of Hazardous Materials are also invited to the Day 1 training session.
Your education and/or work experience will determine your eligibility to sit for the HMMT, CHMP or the CHMM exam. Certification candidates should visit the IHMM website (www.ihmm.org) to obtain specific information regarding how to become pre-approved to sit for their examination.
All three of our exam prep courses are designed as an “overview” of the body of knowledge (exam blueprint) required to pass comprehensive and rigorous examinations. Each student will receive a Student Workbook (containing exam blueprints, copies of the PowerPoint presentation slides, a practice exam and an exam prep glossary exercise). Subject matter experts will lead students through each section of the student workbook.
Laws & regulations, science & technology, management principals and practical applications pertaining to body of knowledge required to practice as hazardous materials professionals are reviewed. Our society has become dependent on credentialed professionals to make the right decisions regarding life cycle stewardship issues related to the proper use and ultimate disposal of hazardous materials. Our course instructors believe that maturity of judgment comes from life long learning and experience. Given this approach, students that sit for their respective exams within six months after completing an exam prep course and their personal follow up study program (based upon their education and experience gaps) have consistently achieved favorable test score results.
Today, hazardous materials professionals work in environmental protection, public health, homeland security, transportation, safety and related fields. Corporations, universities, and government agencies depend on IHMM certifications to identify individuals qualified to properly identify and handle hazardous and/or potentially hazardous materials.
Certified Hazardous Materials Professionals work in environmental protection, public health, homeland security, transportation, safety and related fields.
