Description
Certified Hazardous Material Management Professional (CHMMP) is an advanced professional development program for environmental, health, and safety (EHS) practitioners, operations and plant leaders, compliance officers, consultants, and technical specialists who oversee hazardous materials in their organizations. It is intended for experienced professionals and serious mid-career practitioners who want to move beyond basic compliance and manage hazardous materials in a structured, defensible, and professionally credible way.
In today’s regulatory and stakeholder environment, hazardous materials management is closely tied to legal exposure, operational continuity, financial performance, and organizational reputation. Regulators, customers, and communities expect organizations to demonstrate effective control over the storage, handling, transport, use, and disposal of hazardous substances. This course is designed to help professionals meet those expectations by focusing on the technical, regulatory, and risk-management capabilities required to protect people, property, and the environment while supporting operational objectives.
Completion of the program indicates that participants understand hazardous materials management as a lifecycle responsibility, from planning and classification through routine operations, transport and waste disposition, incident response, remediation, and long-term stewardship. Learners develop the ability to interpret and apply regulatory requirements to real situations, maintain coherent and audit-ready compliance programs, and present their recommendations clearly and responsibly to senior management, regulators, and other stakeholders.
The course places strong emphasis on practical application. Regulatory frameworks and technical principles are linked to typical organizational challenges such as inspection and audit readiness, permit and license conditions, contractor oversight, and coordination between EHS, operations, maintenance, and leadership. Participants are encouraged to analyze their own workplace context and identify realistic improvements in governance, procedures, documentation, and controls.
Environmental stewardship and sustainable decision-making form an important part of the program. The course highlights how sound hazardous materials management can reduce waste, prevent incidents, lower lifecycle costs, and support broader environmental and social commitments. Participants are guided on integrating environmental management systems (EMS) and occupational health and safety management systems (OHSMS) with daily operations, and on reinforcing a safety culture that combines technical controls, clear management systems, and competent personnel.
For individual professionals, the course offers a structured route to formalize existing experience, strengthen professional credibility, and prepare for roles with wider responsibilities in hazardous materials and EHS management. For organizations, it supports the development of internal capability, helps reduce regulatory and operational risk, and contributes to more consistent and transparent performance in hazardous materials management.
Whether the aim is to consolidate personal expertise, improve an existing hazardous materials program, or support complex projects involving compliance, risk, and remediation, the Certified Hazardous Material Management Professional (CHMMP) course provides a clear framework and a coherent body of knowledge to support sound, well-documented decisions in practice.
