Late last year, the world lost a man who is thought of as “the father of modern hazmat thinking.” Ludwig Benner Jr. worked for decades to improve training and procedures for hazardous materials first responders. The advances he spearheaded, without a doubt, saved countless lives.
To celebrate Benner’s legacy, we’ve prepared a short quiz about his life and accomplishments.
We present this quiz with special thanks to author and hazardous materials specialist Robert Burke, who wrote a moving tribute to Benner earlier this year for Firehouse. His article served as inspiration and a main source of information for this piece.
I like Lion's workshops the best because they really dig into the information you need to have when you leave the workshop.

My experience with Lion training, both online and in the classroom, is that they are far better organized and provide a better sequential explanation of the material.

This course went above my expectations from the moment I walked in the door. The instructor led us through two days packed with useful compliance information.

This training broke down the regulations in an easy-to-understand manner and made them less overwhelming. I now feel I have the knowledge to make more informed decisions.

Given the choice, I would do all coursework this way. In-person courses go very fast without the opportunity to pause or repeat anything.
