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 online course was well thought out and organized, with good interaction between the student and the course.

Excellent class, super instructor, very easy to follow. No rushing through material. Would like to take his class again.
Lawrence Patterson
EH&S Facility Maintenance & Security Manager
The instructor took a rather drab set of topics and brought them to life with realistic real-life examples.
Tom Berndt
HSE Coordinator
The price was reasonable, the time to complete the course was manageable, and the flexibility the online training allowed made it easy to complete.

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

I have attended other training providers, but Lion is best. Lion is king of the hazmat jungle!!!

Your hazmat paperwork is the first thing a DOT inspector will ask for during an inspection. From hazmat training records to special permits, make sure your hazmat documents are in order.
