Registered Hazardous Materials Professional (RHMP)
The Registered Hazardous Materials Professional (RHMP) course delivers training in managing hazardous materials. Offered by the American Institute of Safety Professionals, it covers OSHA and EPA compliance, risk assessment, and best practices for safe handling and disposal of substances across key industries.
What is the Registered Hazardous Materials Professional (RHMP)?
The Registered Hazardous Materials Professional (RHMP) certification from the American Institute of Safety Professionals develops professional-level competency in the management of hazardous materials across their entire lifecycle: classification, procurement, receipt, storage, handling, use, transport, emergency response, and disposal. While individual courses address specific hazmat topics (HazCom, Hazmat Introduction, Dangerous Goods Transportation), the RHMP integrates all hazmat disciplines into a professional qualification for the specialist who manages the organisation’s total hazmat programme. The curriculum covers chemical classification systems (GHS, DOT, NFPA 704), HazCom programme management (SDS, labelling, training per 1910.1200), hazardous materials storage and compatibility (1910.106, 1910.101, segregation), dangerous goods transportation compliance (DOT 49 CFR, IATA DGR, IMDG Code), HAZWOPER programme management (1910.120 — awareness through technician levels), spill response and emergency planning, hazmat waste management (RCRA — generator levels, manifesting, disposal), hazmat procurement and receipt, exposure assessment and control, regulatory compliance management (OSHA, DOT, EPA integration), and hazmat programme governance. All training is delivered 100 percent online through leading delivery platforms and the American Institute of Safety Professionals Learning Management System (LMS). On successful completion, you receive an American Institute of Safety Professionals certificate, a professional wallet card, and an official transcript, all employer-verifiable at amiosp.com/student-verifications.
