Who is the CHMPTM? (Certified Hazardous Materials PractitionerTM)

Who is the Certified Hazardous Materials Practitioner (CHMP^TM)?

As a CHMP, your job encompasses more than just environmental protection, waste management, dangerous goods transportation, safety, or materials handling. By working in an area that involves hazardous or potentially hazardous materials, you serve all of these areas and more. Corporations, universities, and government agencies depend on the certification to identify distinguished individuals.

A Certified Hazardous Materials Practitioner^TM (CHMP^TM) is experienced in handling hazardous materials in a wide variety of specialties, such as environmental protection, emergency response, safety, transportation, and security. CHMPs have experience in packing, shipping, tracking or securing hazardous articles; responding to spills; and/or cleaning up contaminated sites.

The CHMP certification is related to the CHMM, but focuses more on hands-on or workplace experience as a practitioner and less on the management aspects of the field. The certification is designed for hazardous materials workers with at least 5 years of relevant experience.
