More Federal Recognition for the CSHM, CSMP, CHMM, and CHMP – IHMM Drafts Comments to OSHA Voluntary Protection Program [VPP]
OSHA’s Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP) was initiated in 1982 to recognize workplaces with exceptional safety and health management. VPP was groundbreaking, being among the first programs to employ a management system structure emphasizing management leadership, worker participation, robust hazard identification and control, and training. In the intervening 40+ years, the program has grown to include a wide variety of organizations in many industries. Much has been learned about safety and health management since the VPP requirements were last updated in 1989. OSHA published its Recommended Practices for Safety and Health Programs in 2016 and consensus standards have been published at both the national (ANSI Z10-2019) and international level (ISO 45001-2018).
OSHA is seeking public input as it considers updating its Voluntary Protection Program (VPP); to expand participation and increase Safety and Health Management System (SHMS) adoption.
IHMM has drafted comments for the OSHA VPP proceeding, focused on the CSHM, CSMP, CHMM, and CHMP, which we intend on submitting in the next 10 days. If you have any comments on the IHMM submission please send them to Gene Guilford at [email protected]
Compliance Risk and ISO 37301 – Reshaping Compliance Management
When the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) investigates a company, they are required to look at specific factors. One of the key issues that must be evaluated before determining whether to bring charges is the adequacy and effectiveness of the company’s compliance program.
Compliance risk can be managed by developing an organization – wide compliance regime that is robust yet agile. Organizations are wise to seek and make use of tools that assist in creating and maintaining their compliance systems.
‘Compliance Risk and ISO 37301 – Reshaping Compliance Management’ is a whitepaper that outlines how the new ISO 37301 standard is reshaping the future of compliance and how it can assist businesses to mitigate compliance risk.

Litigation Continues Over WOTUS Rule, Regan Slated To Unveil Landmark Vehicle Rules
WOTUS Rule
Litigation over EPA’s controversial rule defining which “Waters of the United States” (WOTUS) are subject to Clean Water Act regulation is slated to continue in several federal district courts. EPA is scheduled to reply on April 13 to Kentucky’s emergency motion for a preliminary injunction in the case Commonwealth of Kentucky v. EPA, et al., where the state is urging the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky to block implementation of the Biden administration’s WOTUS rule pending an appeal.
Kentucky’s move follows Judge Gregory Van Tatenhove’s denial of the state and industry’s motions for a preliminary injunction, and subsequent dismissal of the case on the grounds that they lack standing.
The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas has already blocked the rule’s implementation in Texas and Idaho, and a judge in North Dakota is weighing requests from two dozen states and industry groups to block the rule’s implementation more broadly.
Vehicle GHG Rules
EPA Administrator Michael Regan is expected in Detroit on April 12 to unveil a potentially historic proposal for curbing greenhouse gases and other emissions from model year 2027 and later passenger vehicles.
EPA may also release a separate “phase 3” heavy trucks GHG proposed rule. Both rules are expected to assume significantly higher penetration of electric vehicles and other zero-emission models compared to prior agency standards.
EPA had originally hoped to release both the car and heavy truck proposals by the end of March.
Regulatory Review
White House regulatory review chief Richard Revesz will speak at an April 11 event hosted by Resources for the Future on the Biden administration’s efforts to overhaul centralized regulatory review and its newly released update to long-standing guidance for cost-benefit analyses. Such reviews play an important role in various rules issued by EPA and other agencies, and the new update could lay the groundwork for more robust consideration of affirmative environmental policies.

DOJ Seeks CWA Fines, Superfund Cost Recovery From Norfolk Southern
The Justice Department (DOJ) on behalf of EPA is suing rail company Norfolk Southern over the train derailment in East Palestine, OH, seeking fines under the Clean Water Act (CWA) for the unlawful discharge of pollutants, oil, and hazardous substances, and the recovery of cleanup costs under section 107 of the Superfund law.
“No community should have to go through what East Palestine residents have faced. With today’s action, we are once more delivering on our commitment to ensure Norfolk Southern cleans up the mess they made and pays for the damage they have inflicted as we work to ensure this community can feel safe at home again,” EPA Administrator Michael Regan said in a March 31 statement.
The March 30 complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio charges the rail company violated sections 301 and 311of the CWA by unlawfully discharging pollutants into regulated waters without a permit and by discharging oil and hazardous substances into waters in quantities considered harmful.
DOJ is seeking civil penalties of $64,618 per day per violation of section 301 and $55,808 per day, or $2,232 per barrel of oil or unit of hazardous substance, per violation of section 311.
Additionally, DOJ says the “United States has incurred response costs that are not inconsistent with the National Contingency Plan” and the defendants are liable for them.
The litigation follows EPA’s issuance of a unilateral administrative order under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) to Norfolk Southern requiring the company to develop and implement plans to address contamination and pay EPA’s response costs associated with the order.

New Biden EO Raises Threshold For White House Review Of Agency Rules
President Joe Biden has raised the monetary threshold for when the White House can review “major rules” issued by EPA and other agencies, issuing an executive order that raises the decades-old $100-million limit to $200 million, while setting a deadline for officials to overhaul cost-benefit methods and also requiring greater consideration of equity concerns in regulatory analysis.
Biden signed an April 6 executive order that raises to $200 million the monetary threshold for determining whether a rule is a “significant regulatory action” subject to review by the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), while also adjusting it going forward for inflation.
“Significant regulatory action” means any regulatory action that is likely to result in a rule that may “have an annual effect on the economy of $200 million or more (adjusted every 3 years by the Administrator of OIRA for changes in gross domestic product),” the order says.
President Ronald Regan first set the $100 million threshold for “major rules” when he signed EO 12991 in February 1981. President Bill Clinton retained the threshold when he overhauled regulatory review practices in his 1993 EO 12866, as did President Barack Obama in his 2011 EO 13563.
Biden Vetoes CRA Resolution To Block Revised WOTUS, Citing Rule’s Clarity
President Joe Biden is following through on his pledge to veto a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution that sought to block EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers’ rule redefining “waters of the United States” (WOTUS), saying the regulation provides clear boundaries while the resolution would create increased uncertainty.
“The 2023 revised definition of ‘Waters of the United States’ carefully sets the bounds for which bodies of water are protected under the Clean Water Act [CWA]. It provides clear rules of the road that will help advance infrastructure projects, economic investments, and agricultural activities — all while protecting water quality and public health,” Biden said in an April 6 veto message to the House of Representatives.
He emphasizes that the resolution would “leave Americans without a clear definition” of WOTUS, contributing to uncertainty that would threaten economic growth, including for agriculture, local communities, and downstream communities.
“Therefore, I am vetoing this resolution,” Biden concludes.
This expected move follows the Senate’s March 29 passage of the resolution in a 53-43 majority vote after the House passed a companion measure earlier in March by a 227-198 vote.
Congress is on recess at this time but it is clear from the votes on passage that neither body has the votes to override the President’s veto.
2023 National Safety Stand Down to Prevent Falls in Construction – May 1-5, 2023
Fatalities caused by falls from elevation continue to be a leading cause of death for construction employees, accounting for 378 of the 986 construction fatalities recorded in 2021 (BLS data). Those deaths were preventable. The National Safety Stand-Down raises fall hazard awareness across the country in an effort to stop fall fatalities and injuries.
What is a Safety Stand-Down?
A Safety Stand-Down is a voluntary event for employers to talk directly to employees about safety. Any workplace can hold a stand-down by taking a break to focus on “Fall Hazards” and reinforcing the importance of “Fall Prevention”. Employers of companies not exposed to fall hazards, can also use this opportunity to have a conversation with employees about the other job hazards they face, protective methods, and the company’s safety policies and goals. It can also be an opportunity for employees to talk to management about fall and other job hazards they see.
Who Can Participate?
Anyone who wants to prevent hazards in the workplace can participate in the Stand-Down. In past years, participants included commercial construction companies of all sizes, residential construction contractors, sub- and independent contractors, highway construction companies, general industry employers, the U.S. Military, other government participants, unions, employer’s trade associations, institutes, employee interest organizations, and safety equipment manufacturers.
- Webinar: Preventing Falls through Improved Design (Wednesday, March 29 at 2:00 p.m. ET). This interorganizational webinar will begin with a general explanation of Prevention through Design (PtD) and how it can be used to improve not only building design, but also work and equipment design.

National Stand-By to Prevent Struck-By Incidents:
Struck-by hazards are present on nearly every job site, and include things like falling and flying objects, vehicles and heavy equipment, and swing hazards from cranes. These incidents are the number one cause of nonfatal injuries in construction and the leading cause of death among heavy and civil construction workers, but they can be avoided by careful planning, training, and the use of controls. The NORA Construction Sector Council sponsors this annual event during NWZAW to help employers talk directly to employees about these hazards and provide instruction for preventing incidents. Any workplace can hold a stand-down by taking a break to focus on “Struck-by Hazards” and reinforcing the importance of training and prevention.
Outreach and educational materials are available here but here are a few highlights:

OSHA’s Safe + Sound Campaign is a nationwide opportunity to raise awareness and understanding of the value of proactive occupational safety and health (OSH) programs in all workplaces. Mark your calendars! Safe + Sound Week will take place from August 7-13, 2023. Safe + Sound Week is a nationwide event held each August that recognizes the successes of workplace health and safety programs and offers information and ideas on how to keep America’s workers safe. Registration for Safe + Sound Week opens in early July. We look forward to your participation!
Safe + Sound emphasizes the need for safety programs at small- and mid-sized businesses, which are more likely to have limited resources dedicated to safety. As you know, effective OSH programs can help organizations identify and manage workplace risk before they cause injury or illness, improving sustainability and the bottom line. Safety and health management systems are a critical best practice to ensure that OSH programs achieve significant results and lower risk exposure.

Top 6 Projects in April-May, 2023
As the article above illustrates, we are drafting comments to the OSHA VPP proceeding on potential updates to that program, and in so doing creating additional federal recognition of the CSHM, CSMP, CHMM, and CHMP credentials.
- We need volunteers in these states: We have partially succeeded in another 16 states – Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Arizona, Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Florida, Delaware, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, and Maine. [Orange/Black Stripe states in the map above] These are states where the requirements of an “environmental professional” or QEP are cited that coincide with an IHMM credential so that relatively little work would need to be done to clarify the desired outcome.

Scheduling meetings with the Maryland Congressional delegation concerning the Certified Pandemic Preparedness Specialist [CPPS] credential – IHMM had meetings with Senator Cardin and Representative Trone, scheduling Senator Van Hollen next.
In 2019 Mark Bruce from AHMP and Gene Guilford from IHMM worked on a project to get the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to recognize the CHMM and CDGT credentials. With Mark’s work on the ground in Pennsylvania, we succeeded.
- We have already succeeded in 13 states – New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Indiana, California, Colorado, Nebraska, Minnesota, Arkansas, Oklahoma. Ohio, North Dakota, and Georgia. [Red states in the map above]. These are states where IHMM credentials are cited or 40 CFR 312.10 is cited by reference.
- We have partially succeeded in another 16 states – Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Arizona, Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Florida, Delaware, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, and Maine. [Orange/Black Stripe states in the map above] These are states where the requirements of an “environmental professional” or QEP are cited that coincide with an IHMM credential so that relatively little work would need to be done to clarify the desired outcome.
- We have 21 states where no reference to an IHMM credential is made in either statute or regulation, nor is there anything defined in the area of an environmental professional. These states will require legislation or regulatory work. [Yellow states in the map above].
In January 2021 Mark at AHMP and Gene at IHMM has launched 45 in 5, getting the other 45 states to recognize our credentials in 5 years. If we can find a volunteer like Mark in other states [see above] we can work with those volunteers on crafting the right message to the right agencies in state governments across the country. If we find enough volunteers we can get this done in less than 5 years.
In January 2022 Gene Guilford released the 40 CFR § 312.10 EPA regulation that states a private certification that meets or exceeds the requirements of the regulation is an Environmental Professional under the regulation. Here is the crosswalk between the 40 CFR § 312.10 EPA regulation and the Certified Hazardous Materials Manager [CHMM] blueprint. The CHMM meets or exceeds the requirements of an Environmental Professional.
Here’s what we ask each volunteer to do:
- Watch legislative and regulatory developments in your state that provide an opportunity for us to create amendments or other interventions
- Be willing to speak with regulators and legislators in your area about the recognition efforts we craft together

Connected to the Examination Preparation panel is a companion panel that is Find a Course to Prepare for the Exam.
You see the Find a Course to Prepare for the Exam panel from the CHMM site at left.
When you click on the Find a Course to Prepare for the Exam panel it takes the applicant directly to the HMS site where all CHMM prep courses may be found and chosen.
For the 392 CHMM applicants IHMM had on April 4, 2023, all 392 looking for CHMM prep courses could see and chose their favored CHMM exam prep course. If your course is not on the HMS platform, none of the 392 CHMM applicants could find you.
If you want your CHMM prep course on the HMS platform so it can be found by IHMM CHMM applicants, contact Gene Guilford at [email protected]
HMS Makes Finding Courses to Earn CMPs Easy
Every year more than 1,600 IHMM certificants have to recertify their credentials, evidenced their continuing commitment to improvement and learning to elevate their professional credential.
Earning Certification Maintenance Points [CMPs] is illustrated under Recertification of Your Credential, that includes the Recertification Claims Manual – Appendix A, that details all of the ways a certificant may earn CMPs > https://ihmm.org/recertification-claims/
Having mastered that manual, how does an IHMM certificant find courses to earn CMPs?
HMS has made that simple and easy.
- Go to https://hazmatsociety.org/education-training/
- Scroll down until you see a row of buttons…click on the CMPs button
The system will then generate all of the courses on the HMS E&T platform with IHMM CMPs already attached.
The next developments by the HMS E&T committee will refine available courses’ CMPs by individual credential!

Donate to HMS
One of the most important projects of the Hazardous Materials Society is our Scholarship Program.
HMS wants to make it as easy as possible for those who cannot always afford to participate in pursuing certification, or keeping up with professional development, or attending great conferences and receiving outstanding training. HMS does not solicit contributions from the general public. HMS does ask IHMM’s certificants and their companies and our education and training vendors to consider a contribution.
Here, through your generosity, you can make a difference in promoting the ability of those who can afford it least to become participants in our communities of practice.
It’s never too late to make a difference, so don’t let this opportunity to make a difference pass you by. Please consider a tax-deductible donation of $250, $500 or what you can to help build HMS’s effort to help others in our communities of practice.
