Tom Bush, Jr.

EHS Manager

I have over 26 years of environmental compliance experience, and it has been some time since I have attended an environmental regulations workshop. I attended this course as preparation for EHS Audits for my six plants, and it was exactly what I was looking for.

The instructor took a rather drab set of topics and brought them to life with realistic real-life examples.

I will never go anywhere, but to Lion Technology.
