The 1970s and 1980s saw a proliferation of environmental, safety and health laws and the rapid expansion of the hazardous materials management profession. Given these circumstance, the non-profit credentialing organization Institute for Hazardous Materials Management (IHMM) recognized a need for trained and credentialed professionals to be at the forefront of developing strategies and standard practices for properly handling hazardous materials to protect the public and the environment. And thus, the IHMM established the CHMM® certification program in 1984. A hazardous materials professional’s CHMM® credential signifies to government, employers and the public that he or she is uniquely qualified to properly manage hazardous materials to safeguard the environment and to protect public health, safety and welfare.
In 1995, ACHMM was incorporated as an independent 501c3 nonprofit membership organization. Today, through an affiliation agreement, ACHMM and IHMM work together to guarantee the success of individual CHMMs and the CHMM® program.
The Academy of Certified Hazardous Materials Managers (ACHMM) is a nonprofit membership organization made up of more than 6,000 environmental, health and safety professionals.
ACHMM members are experts and leaders in the fields of environment, emergency response, homeland security, transportation, security, industrial hygiene and waste management.
