Hazardous Materials Inventory Statements (HMIS)
Hazardous Materials Management Plans (HMMP)

Hazardous Materials Classification
In order to obtain commercial/industrial building and/or occupancy permits, most local permit centers and fire districts require a Hazardous Materials Inventory Statement (HMIS) and a Hazardous Materials Management Plan (HMMP). Certain jurisdictions also require that only qualified individuals conduct the hazardous materials classification required for the HMIS.


Required Qualifications
The classification of chemicals as required by Article 80 of the Uniform Fire Code (UFC) demands not only a thorough understanding of the UFC but also knowledge of chemistry, toxicology, industrial hygiene and other heath and safety issues.
