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 individual management issues and representative compliance situations. We purposely designed this course to parallel curriculum 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).
At the conclusion of the course, participants will be able to: describe the statutory and regulatory framework; apply compliance standards and work practices; apply hazardous materials management principles, controls, and concepts; know the science and technology of HMM; define chemical and physical properties; characterize sampling and analysis plans; and much more!
Who Should Attend
EHMM is the perfect preparation for anyone planning to take the CHMM exam or anyone with responsibilities related to hazardous materials management and waste handling, such as:
