Devastating grain dust explosions have been recorded for decades as the risk of flour dust ignition is so high. Without adequate controls and safety measures, grain flour explosions have been known to level entire milling facilities and take lives. While mill owners are making the effort to comply with DSEAR and ATEX regulations to ensure their staffs’ safety, the execution of preventive measures has not always been correct. Many milling facilities share common problems when it comes to the installation of protective equipment. In some cases, they inadvertently exclude “fail-safes” where necessary.

Investing In The US As A Canadian… And How To Do It RIGHT!! (feat. Erwin Szet...Volition Properties
=== Investing In The US As A Canadian… And How To Do It RIGHT!! (feat. Erwin Szeto) ===
Ever been curious about Real Estate Investing in the US?? At Volition, for the past 14 years, we have been focused on helping investors invest in over $250M of real estate and generate $100M of wealth in the Toronto market, but we are always open to learning more about other business models and learning from other investors.
The US has always been an intriguing market to invest in. But the US is a big place… if you’re interested in investing in the US, you probably have a lot of questions, like:
☑️ Specifically WHERE should you invest?
☑️ What are the best markets to invest in and why?
☑️ How much are property prices there?
☑️ What are the returns like?
☑️ What is cashflow like?
☑️ Compared to investing in Toronto or other cities in Ontario, what are the benefits / tradeoffs?
☑️ What ownership structure should I use?
☑️ What are the tax implications?
☑️ Can I get financing?
☑️ What are tenants like?
Enter Erwin Szeto, a longtime friend of Volition. Since 2005, Erwin Szeto and his team have navigated the challenging landscape of being landlords in Ontario. Now, they are shifting their focus and guiding their clients' investments toward the more landlord-friendly environment of the USA. This decision comes after assisting Canadian clients in transacting over $440,000,000 in income properties. Faced with issues like affordability constraints, tenant-friendly laws, rent control, and rental licensing in Canada, Erwin sees a clear opportunity in the U.S. Here, there is a significant influx of investments leading to the creation of high-paying manufacturing jobs. Erwin and his clients are poised to capitalize on these opportunities where landlord rights are stronger and there is no rent control.
To facilitate this transition, Erwin has partnered with and become a client of SHARE, a one-stop-shop U.S. Asset Manager. Founded by Canadians for Canadians, SHARE enables as passive an ownership experience as possible for landlords in the U.S., while still maintaining direct, 100% ownership.

dations on health and safety issues to be consi-
dered in the cutting, grinding, polishing and ins-
tallation of SILESTONE®, DEKTON®, ECO, SENSA,
SCALEA, INTEGRITY AND PREXURY BY COSENTINO®.
SENSA BY COSENTINO® is granite.
SCALEA BY COSENTINO® is natural stone.

HEALTH & SAFETY INFORMATION ABOUT RESPIRABLE FRACTION OF CRYSTALLINE SILICA (SiO2).
Crystalline silica is a basic component of soil, sand,
granite, quartz, and many other minerals. Respi-
rable size particles of crystalline silica may result
when workers chip, cut, drill or grind these objects.
Respirable crystalline silica may present a health
hazard if workers are not properly protected and
workplaces are not properly controlled to reduce
silica dust.
H372 HAZARD: Causes damage to lungs through prolonged or repeated exposure (inhalation).
PREVENTION
P260 Do not breathe dust generated in the cutting, grinding and polishing processes.
P264 Wash face and hands thoroughly after handling.
P270 Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this material.
P284 Wear respiratory protection for particles (P3).
FIRST AID MEASURES
P314 Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell.
P501 Dispose of scrap material in accordance with local regulation.
COSENTINO® strongly encourages fabricators and
installers to adhere to the recommendations con-
tained in this Good Practice Guide so as to control
exposure to respirable crystalline silica and reduce
health risks.
At minimum, fabricators and installers of SILESTO-
NE®, DEKTON®, ECO, SENSA, SCALEA, INTEGRITY AND
PREXURY BY COSENTINO® are required to comply with
all local laws and regulations pertaining to occupa-
tional health and safety. In addition to the informa-
tion in this Guide, it is also recommended that fabri-
cators and installers of SILESTONE®, DEKTON®, ECO,
SENSA, SCALEA, INTEGRITY AND PREXURY BY COSEN-
TINO® become familiar with the European Network
on Silica (NEPSI) and its Good Practice Guide for the
handing of silica, and with the Occupational Health
and Safety Administration (OSHA) National Emphasis
Program for Crystalline Silica.
Visit http://nepsi.eu and www.osha.org for more in-
formation.
These instructions provide information and
advice on:
• Access to the workplace
• Water-injected hand machines and tools
• Local extraction and filtration systems.
• General ventilation in factories plants
• Periodic maintenance and supervision
• Cleaning
• Dust monitoring
• Other risks: cuts, projected particles, noise,
handling loads.
• Installation of worktops

EXPOSURE TO RESPIRABLE CRYSTALLINE SILICA
3
5. Water-injected hand
cutting machines and tools
Access to
work area
Two primary methods exist to control silica dust:
using water injected machinery and local extraction
and filtration systems.
Avoid using dry processing techniques whenever
possible. All cutting, shaping, polishing and finis-
hing of material should be done using water injec-
ted tools. Dust that is wet is less able to become or
remain airborne. Water pumps, hoses and nozzles
should be kept in excellent operating condition and
cleaned regularly. When working with water it is es-
sential to avoid electrical risks by using ground fault
circuit interrupters (GFCIs) and watertight, sealable
electrical connectors for electric tools and equip-
ment. Employees operating in wet areas should also
be required to wear rubber boots.
Restrict access to work areas to authorized person-
nel only. Put signs when the area is at risk.
PREVENTIVE MEASURES
General ventilation
in factories
Local extraction and filtration
systems
Because the hazardous dust is very fine and may
stay in the air for days it is important to have ade-
quate general ventilation.
Ensure that the building is properly ventilated, if
necessary using forced ventilation. Ensure the ven-
tilation system does not move settled dust and that
contaminated air does not spread to clean areas.
Dust suppression sprays (fine mist of air and water)
may be used to prevent the generation of airborne
dust throughout indoor and outdoor traffic routes or
conveyors.
Emissions from dust extraction systems in buildings
must comply with local environmental legislation.
Use a reputable exhaust ventilation supplier. Only
use qualified engineers to carry out the design and
the installation.
The design should include the following items: a
hood, an enclosure or other inlet to collect and
contain contaminants, ducts to remove contami-
nants away from the source, a filter or any other air
cleaning device, normally placed between the hood
and fan, a fan or other device to move air to provide
the air flow, and finally other ducts to discharge the
clean air outside the workplace.
Apply local exhaust ventilation at the generation
source to capture the dust.
Tightly close the dust source to help prevent it
spreading.
Local exhaust ventilation should be connected to a
suitable dust extraction unit (e.g. a bag filter or cy-
clone).
Workers should not to stand between the sour-
ce of exposure and the local exhaust ventilation;
otherwise, they will be directly in the path of the
contaminated air flow. Please observe periodically
the position of workers and train them.
Where possible, ensure that the work area is not clo-
se to doors, windows or walkways so as not to inter-
fere with the local exhaust ventilation and to prevent
dust from spreading.
Ensure that there is a clean air supply to replace the
extracted air.
The ducts should be short and simple, avoid long
sections of flexible ducts.
Discharge extracted air to a safe place away from
doors, windows and air inlets.

6. Because the hazardous dust is very fine and can go
easily to the air and so may stay there for days it is
important to have a comprehensive housekeeping
program.
Clean the equipment every day, at least one time be-
fore leaving for home.
Clean the workplace daily. Use walls and flooring sur-
faces that can easily be kept clean and that do not
absorb or accumulate dust.
Clean floors and other surfaces on a regular basis.
Clean also the entire warehouse structures and inlet
roof.
Use wet or vacuum cleaning methods. Do not clean
with a dry brush or using compressed air, it will boost
the exposure to very high levels.
Clean up any spill immediately. Do not allow dust /
debris deposits to dry out before they are cleaned up.
If vacuum cleaning systems are required for spill of
large volumes of dust, they should be specially desig-
ned to avoid overloading and blocking.
When it is not possible to use wet or vacuum cleaning
methods, and only dry cleaning with brushes can be
carried out, ensure that workers wear appropriate
personal protective equipment and that measu-
res are taken to prevent crystalline silica dust from
spreading outside the work area.
When necessary, to prevent dust from spreading bet-
ween building levels, use solid floors and cover them
with a wear-resistant material, colored to highlight
dust contamination.
Control panels can be protected from dust by using a
plastic barrier or similar membrane.
When using wet cleaning methods, provide an ade-
quate number of correctly positioned water connec-
tion points.
Provide an adequate number of vacuum connection
points when using a central vacuum cleaning system.
Risk assessment should be carried out to determine
whether existing controls are adequate. Both perso-
nal and static measurements can be used together,
as they are complementary. It is up to the Industrial
Hygiene specialists contracted by employers to pro-
pose for the most appropriate solutions, while res-
pecting the applicable legislation.
The sampling strategy, equipment used, analysis
methods etc, must be defined by the Industrial Hy-
giene specialists. Keep complete records of dust mo-
nitoring data and adopt a quality system as described
above. The personnel in charge of the samplings
should set a good example and wear respiratory pro-
tection equipment in the required areas. The dust
monitoring must be performed periodically. Please
check NEPSI agreement.
PREVENTIVE MEASURES
Periodic maintenance
and supervision
Ensure equipment is maintained in good working
condition as advised by the supplier’s recommenda-
tions manual.
Clean the equipment on a regular basis, at least one
time at the end of the shift. Do not clean with a dry
brush or using compressed air. Do not allow dust/
waste deposits to dry out before they are cleaned up.
Ensure the local exhaust ventilation is maintained
in good working condition in accordance with the
supplier’s or the installer’s recommendations. Noisy
or vibrating fans can indicate a problem.
Replace consumables (filters, etc) in accordance
with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Do not modify any part of the system. If you do so,
check with the supplier to ensure that the system
retains the CE mark or make inspection and risk as-
sessment by and licensed expert.
You should receive instructions for use and a dia-
gram of the installed systems. You must receive a
commissioning report showing the airflows at all
inlets, the air speed in the ducts and the pressure
index in the cleaner or filter.
Please contact the supplier for information on the
expected performance of the local exhaust ventila-
tion. Keep this information to compare with future
test results.
At least once a week, visually inspect the equipment
for signs of damage. If they are constantly used,
check them more frequently. If used rarely, check
before each use.
Keep records of inspections for the period of time
required by the country’s laws (recommended mini-
mum five years).

Installation
of worktops
The fabrication of SILESTONE®, DEKTON®, ECO, SEN-
SA, SCALEA, INTEGRITY AND PREXURY BY COSENTINO®
may involve some risk such as; blows and cuts with
objects and tools, projected particles, noise exposu-
re, vibrations and handling loads.
Review the risk assessment results carried out by
Health and Safety experts.
Use the appropriate tools for each task and keep
them in good working order.
Use the personal protective equipment recommen-
ded at all times: dust mask, gloves, eye and ear pro-
tection and high visibility jacket in the area of tuck
or forklift traffic.
For slabs handling use also the helmet. Insure that
all A-frame are feet wit safety bars to avoid the fa-
lling of slabs at the moment of taking off or leaving
down the slab. The safety bars must feet in all A-
frame, in the warehouse and also in the trucks.
Worker using crane, truck crane or forklift must be
properly training.
Check formally on a daily basis crane, truck crane
and forklift.
Check periodically and according to manufacturer
manual and regulations, with and expert inspector,
crane, truck crane and forklift.
Check periodically and according to manufacturer
manual and regulations, with and expert inspector,
electrical instalations.
Use mechanical means to transport heavy parts or
materials. As far as possible avoid handling or trans-
porting weights over 20kg or in awkward positions,
also try to avoid repetitive movements.
The worktop should be finished when it leaves the
workshop so that no further work will be carried out
on site. Please take accurate dimensions of the kit-
chen.
If the worktop requires a final check in the house,
we recommend you find a well-ventilated place (te-
rrace, balcony, etc) and use a wet cleaning method
if possible. For this task, P3 type Silica respiratory
protection and ear and eye protection must be used
for particles.
If the final check is carried out by using a dry
cleaning method, safety measures are the same. We
also recommend the use of a portable vacuum sys-
tem (vacuum cleaner).
Use instruments such as manual suction pads when
handling the material.
When fixing joints, trims, sockets etc. using products
such as Solumastick, Colorsil, dissolvents etc, latex
gloves must be worn and P3 protection containing
organic vapor filters.
To complete the installation, all dust must be clea-
ned up in order not to create, as far as possible, dus-
ty environments, also the worktop must be cleaned.

equipment (PPE)
Hygiene
In those areas or workplaces where risks still exist
the use of personal protective equipment is manda-
tory and they must be clearly defined by appropriate
signs.
Personal protective equipment must comply with re-
levant local laws and regulations on the design and
manufacture in relation to health and safety. All the
personal protective equipment that the company
provides must meet regulatory standards.
Respiratory protection for silica must meet regula-
tory standards P3. Note that facial hair reduces the
effectiveness of a mask.
When using PPE, provide employees with training on
selection, use and maintenance of the equipment.
If employees have to wear more than one PPE item,
ensure that they are compatible with each other.
Check the effectiveness of respiratory protective
equipment before use. Consult the supplier about
the appropriate adaptation methods.
Keep records of PPE provided. Provide clean storage
facilities for PPE when not in use.
Provide storage facilities for workers clothes. Clean
clothes should be separated from work clothes.
This area should have toilets, wash basins and
showers as well as personal lockers. Workers should
wash their hands and faces and take overalls off be-
fore eating.
Define a specific and clean area where workers can
prepare meals, eat and drink away from their work-
station.
Provide workers with an adequate supply of clean
work clothes, including additional outfits. Workers
who handle silica dust should wear overalls made of
a fabric that prevents the absorption of dust.
Do not use compressed air to clean overalls. Workers
should not smoke inside the facility.

10. Training and information
for employees
Health
surveillance
Staff should receive training on risks associated with
the fabrication of SILESTONE®, DEKTON®, ECO, SEN-
SA, SCALEA, INTEGRITY AND PREXURY BY COSENTINO®.
New employees should attend a training session that
addresses all health and safety aspects, including the
company’s safe working procedures for dealing with
hazardous substances such as respirable crystalline
silica.
Use a variety of training methods incorporating visual
aids, videos, group discussions and handouts. Wor-
kers’ knowledge should be assessed at the end of
each session to verify that they have understood the
training material.
Refresher training sessions should be provided to
keep workers up to date on health and safety poli-
cies and procedures.
Give your workers information on the health and
safety effects associated with respirable crystalline
silica dust, noise or any other risk associated with
their activity.
Give them information on:
• Good practices to use in the workplace and safe
working procedures.
• When and how to use respiratory protective equi-
pment (RPE) or other personal protective equip-
ment (PPE).
• Dust monitoring programs and other planned co-
rrective measures.
• Safety data sheets for the used products.
• Work equipment, machinery and tools affecting
their work.
In the event that an employee’s measured personal
exposure to respirable crystalline silica exceeds the
relevant occupational exposure limit value, that em-
ployee must be provided with details of his/her per-
sonal exposure monitoring result if required by law.
Attendance at training sessions should be compul-
sory. Participation should be well documented and
records should be kept.
Workers should be asked to provide feedback on
each training session, which might help in the orga-
nization of future training sessions.
The Company should keep a record of which posi-
tions are exposed to respirable crystalline silica.
Specific health surveillance protocols should be im-
plemented for those employees at risk.
The may include:
• Spirometry
• X ray
• High-resolution tomographies
• Peridodicity
In some countries the health check has to be con-
ducted before the hiring. Please be sure of the situa-
tion in your country.
As always, companies are required to comply with all
applicable laws and regulations.

11. Legal compliance and
safety requeriments
Fabricator agrees that it will, at all times, comply
with all local and other applicable rules, regulations,
ordinances and laws regarding the application, han-
dling, storage, fabrication and disposal of all SILES-
TONE®, DEKTON®, ECO, SENSA, SCALEA, INTEGRITY
AND PREXURY BY COSENTINO®. In particular Fabri-
cators must perform periodic risk assessment of all
jobs and take the appropriate measures to control
the risk.
Fabricator acknowledges and understands that:
fabrication of the materials, especially through dry
cutting, emits air-borne particles, including respi-
rable crystalline silica, that may cause silicosis or
other respiratory desease; and Cosentino® strongly
recommends that Fabricators take all appropriate
precautions, including wet cutting, wet grinding, wet
milling and wet polishing, as it may reduce the risk
of inhalation of air-borne particles and silicosis.
