CHMP study guide

The Certified Hazardous Materials Practitioner (CHMP®) is a credential issued by the Institute of Hazardous Materials Management (IHMM) that recognizes front-line hazardous materials workers. IHMM describes it as recognizing "the highest standard of proficiency for front-line hazardous materials workers," and it is intended to give both the practitioner and the employer added assurance of secure and proper handling and management of hazardous materials in the workplace. It is aimed at people whose day-to-day responsibilities involve hazardous materials and/or waste rather than at program managers who already hold the CHMM. Eligibility requires either at least five years of relevant experience with responsibilities directly related to the handling of hazardous materials and/or waste in the workplace, or an associate-level degree in applied science or a related field from an accredited college or university plus three years of such experience. The CHMP study guide has 5 sections and about 1,749 words.
