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.
The exercises in the DOT hazardous materials management course are especially helpful in evaluating your understanding of course information.

Excellent. I learned more in two days with Lion than at a 5-day program I took with another provider.

The price was reasonable, the time to complete the course was manageable, and the flexibility the online training allowed made it easy to complete.

Much better than my previous class with another company. The Lion instructor made sense, kept me awake and made me laugh!
Marti Severs

I used the IT support number available and my issue was resolved within a few minutes. I don't see anything that could have made it better.
Danny Province

The instructor kept the class engaged and made learning fun. There was a lot of information to cover but time flew by. I will definitely use Lion in the future!

The workshop covered a lot of information without being too overwhelming. Lion is much better, more comprehensive than other training providers.

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

Chemical Laboratory Manager
One of the best trainings I have ever received!

The instructor was very very informative, helpful, understandable and pleasant. This course answered many questions I had, being new to this industry.
