Course Description

This course is an excellent comprehensive review of the federal environmental and occupational safety laws and regulations associated with the management of hazardous materials. 

Concentrating on the analysis and application of hazardous materials regulations from EPA, OSHA, and other key pieces of legislation, this course surveys a succession of environmental, safety, and security management related topics. This course utilizes materials developed by the Alliance of Hazardous Materials Professionals’ Hazardous Materials Management Desk Reference in order to assist professionals preparing for the Certified Hazardous Materials Manager (CHMM) national certification exam administered by the Institute of Hazardous Materials Management (IHMM).

The Essentials of Hazardous Materials Management (EHMM) course was created for the specific educational needs of environmental, health, safety and security (EH&S) professionals. The course helps those new to the profession quickly build a solid foundation for their career in EH&S while serving more seasoned professionals as a comprehensive refresher course that can also bring them up to speed on new areas that may have been added to their job responsibilities.

The EHMM course is also a great tool to prepare for the Certified Hazardous Materials Manager® (CHMM®) designation examination
