Welcome to the AHMP Cyber Chapter
We are a group of officers dedicated to "Connecting Hazardous Materials Professionals Worldwide".
With dues of only $35 annually, we think everyone will want to be a member of the Cyber Chapter!
You don’t have to be a CHMM to be part of the chapter!
We have 2 preparatory classes scheduled for early 2021. A CIH prepatory course and the Essentials of Hazardous Materials Management (EHMM) course. Both are great prep courses but also great reviews for experienced professionals and lots of good information for less experienced professionals. Also great for continuing education! Look under the workshop tab or click here for more info on the CIH class and click here for the EHMM course.
