The Alliance of Hazardous Materials Professionals™ (AHMP), formerly
the Academy of Certified Hazardous Materials Managers, Inc. (ACHMM) is
a professional association with a membership of more than 4,000 of the
nation’s leading experts in environmental, health, safety and security
management. AHMP is the only national organization devoted to the
professional advancement of the hazardous materials management field.
Our members are distributed across 56 chapters in 37 states plus the

chapter in Bangalore, India. AHMP is headquartered at the Federation of American Societies for
Experimental Biology (FASEB) campus in Bethesda, Md., just outside

AHMP envisions a world where the natural environment is unburdened
by pollution; workers are exposed only to healthy and safe conditions;
and hazardous materials are used and transported safely and
efficiently. As it has for more than two decades, AHMP works to advance
the field of hazardous materials management to make its vision a
reality. Its core purpose is to foster a community of professionals and
to jointly advocate for the public recognition of the value of the
Certified Hazardous Material Manager® (CHMM®) credential and other EHS&S credentials the standards they represent and the professionals who uphold them.

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, today known as the Alliance of Hazardous Materials
Professionals™, was incorporated as an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit
membership organization. Today, through an affiliation agreement, ACHMM
and IHMM work together to guarantee the success of individual CHMMs and
the CHMM® program.
In December 2008, the ACHMM membership voted to change the name of
the organization to the Alliance of Hazardous Materials Professionals
(AHMP). The new brand identity comprises the new organizational name; a
modern logo; and a tagline: “Global leadership for a sustainable
future™”.
Today with more than 4,000 members—represented by 56 chapters in 37
states—the membership association is focused on its vision of becoming
the recognized global leader and resource for hazardous materials
professionals.
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.
